Introduction
This is the higher-level teaching text for Year 9. It accompanies Maths Frameworking Year 9 Pupil Book 3 and
caters for students working at Levels 68. Students who are working at Levels 35 are catered for by Pupil Book 1
and Teachers Pack 1. Those working at Levels 57 are catered for by Pupil Book 2 and Teachers Pack 2.
Maths Frameworking has been based totally on the finalised National Numeracy Strategy document. The detailed
lesson plans deliver core material from the Frameworks medium-term plans. We have reduced the teaching time
from the 105 hours recommended in the NNS to around 85 one-hour lessons. This should enable teachers some
flexibility to include tests, extended activities and revision classes in their teaching programme, and allows for the
normal events that disrupt teaching time.
The lesson plans have the following features:
Framework objectives to identify the key learning outcomes from the Framework
Engaging Oral and mental starter activities to involve the whole class
Main lesson activities to help you lead students into exercise questions
Plenary guidance to round off the NNS three-part lesson
Key words which highlight when to introduce Framework Vocabulary terms
Extra Homework questions to consolidate and extend learning
Answers for all pupil book exercises, homework and SAT-style questions
PLUS
The free CD-ROM that comes with each teacher pack allows you to extract text and graphics from the
lesson plans, to help produce customised lessons for individualised teaching programmes. Diagrams can
also be reproduced for use on overhead projectors or electronic whiteboards. Full details of how to use
this resource are given on pages xxii.
Chapter numbers and titles in Maths Frameworking follow the NNS medium-term plans. Due to the break caused
by KS3 National Tests, the following specific approach has been taken to tackling the framework objectives in
later chapters:
Chapter 12 is devoted to revision and is followed by a mock SATs paper, for practice prior to KS3 National Tests.
Full answers and a tutorial section for the test, suitable for individual student use, are provided on the CD-ROM.
Chapters 13 to 15 allow students to consolidate and extend knowledge of Handling Data and Shape, Space
and Measures through a range of investigation tasks.
Chapter 16 consolidates Number and Algebra and prepares students for KS4 work.
The Oral and mental starters are designed to work with minimal specialised equipment a blackboard and a
piece of chalk would suffice but resources such as OHPs, A3-sized target boards, counting sticks, number
squares, student white boards and number fans make the activities easier to present and more accessible to
students. A selection of inexpensive or free numeracy resources are available from Collins. See the accompanying
website www.mathsframeworking.com for details.
The authors recognise that ICT provision in schools is varied and we have tried not to commit teachers to an
activity that they could not carry out. However, suggestions for activities using ICT are included throughout the
lesson plans and Pupil Book exercises. Some lessons also address cross-curricular issues such as Literacy and
Citizenship.
For further information and resources for ICT integration, visit www.mathsframeworking.com
The NNS is intended to improve standards. This can only be done by the good work of teachers in the classroom.
The authors appreciate the good work teachers do and hope that Maths Frameworking proves a suitable resource
to help them.

Put on the board 102 and ask: What does this represent?
You want the response Ten squared, as well as A hundred and Ten times ten.
Then put on the board 103 and ask: What does this represent?
You want the response Ten cubed, as well as A thousand and Ten times ten
times ten. You may even get One hundred times ten.
Now put on the board 104 and ask: What does this represent?
The response is now Ten to the power four and Ten thousand.
Now jump to 106 and ask: What does this represent?
You are looking for Ten to the power six and One million.
Next, put on the board 109 and ask: What does this represent? One billion is
the response that you want.
Then put on the board 1012: What does this represent? One trillion is the
response that you want.
Talk about the use made of powers to represent large numbers.
Then ask them about 10100: What does this represent? This is a googol, but you
are unlikely to get a response.
Main lesson activity

Put on the board T(n) = 2n + 7 and explain that this is a rule describing a
sequence. It gives the nth term in the sequence, from which every term can be
found by substituting the integers 1, 2, 3, 4, .
Get the class to generate this sequence: 9, 11, 13, 15, .
Notice how the sequence goes up in 2s and that the first term is 2 + 7.
Go through with the class the building up of the sequence with T(n) = 3n + 2.
This generates 5, 8, 11, 14, .
Notice that the sequence goes up in multiples of 3, the number in front of the n,
plus 2.
Show the class that this rule will also work for negative numbers.
Go through the sequence with T(n) = 4n 3. This sequence is 1, 5, 9, 13, .
Now put on the board 9, 13, 17, 21, and ask the class what the nth term is for
this sequence.
Ask the students for the reasons why they have suggested various rules. Lead
them to the fact that, since 4 is added on every time to obtain the next term, the
nth term will start with 4n. Then see what has to be added to 4 to get the first
term of 9. This will be 5. So the nth term will be 4n + 5.
Show the class the sequence 3, 8, 13, 18, and ask what the nth term is for this
sequence.
They should be able to identify the first part as 5n since 5 is added on each time.
Ask what must be added to 5 to get the first term of 3. The answer is 2. So the
nth term is given by 5n 2.
Put on the board the sequence 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, . Then ask the class what
they notice about the differences between the consecutive terms.

After some discussion, put on the board the first and second differences:
1 4 9 16 25 36
First differences 3 5 7 9 11
Second differences 2 2 2 2
Explain that when a sequence has the same second differences, it is a quadratic
sequence. That is, a sequence whose nth term contains n2. In the example
above, T(n) = n2.
Finally, run through the sequence T(n) = n(n + 2), and show that the second
differences are constant.
The class can now do Exercise 1A from Pupil Book 3.

Draw on the board three measuring jugs labelled 1 gallon, 3 pints and 5 pints.
Tell the class that the gallon jug is full.
Ask if anyone knows how many pints there are in a gallon. There are 8 pints.
Working in pairs, ask which pair can work out, using just the three jugs, how to
divide the liquid into two equal measures of half a gallon (4 pints).
The solution is as follows:
From the full gallon jug, fill the 5 pint jug, leaving a measure of 3 pints in the
gallon jug.
From the 5 pint jug, fill the 3 pint jug leaving 3 pints, 3 pints and 2 pints.
Pour all of the 3 pint jug into the gallon jug, giving 6 pints and 2 pints.
Pour the 2 pints from the 5 pint jug into the 3 pint jug, leaving 6 pints and
2 pints.
From the gallon jug, fill the 5 pint jug, leaving 1 pint, 2 pints and 5 pints.
From the 5 pint jug, fill up the 3 pint jug, leaving 1 pint, 3 pints and 4 pints.
Now just pour the 3 pint jug into the gallon jug to leave 4 pints in the gallon
jug and 4 pints in the 5 pint jug.

Draw on the board a circle with a chord (any straight line from one part of the
circumference to another).
Ask how many regions there are in the circle. (There are two.)
Now draw another chord in the circle, intersecting the first one, and ask: How
many regions are in the circle now? (There are four.)
Build up a table of results while doing this, showing the number of lines and the
number of regions.
Ask the class if they can tell you the possible maximum number of regions when
another chord is drawn.
Many might suggest six due to the sequence starting 2, 4, . Put the suggestions
on the board.
Now draw in the chord to intersect both chords already in the circle. Count with
the class the number of regions. There are seven regions. Put this in the table.
Now ask again: What is the maximum number of regions if I draw another
chord in the circle?
Some may spot the pattern, which gives 11. If so, then get them to explain the
pattern to the rest of the class. Show that this is true. The explanation is that 2 is
added, then 3, then 4 and so on.
Now ask if anyone can describe the term-to-term rule. Encourage class
discussion here, and clarity of explanation. There may be a few good
suggestions, all different from each other but still correct.
The rule is:
T(n) = Term + n
where the build-up is from the term immediately before.
Explain this terminology: T(n) is the nth term and Term is the term immediately
before it.

Find the inverse of a linear function.
1.3
Ask the question: Is 1234 5678 = 7 006 652?
Is there a quick way of checking without doing the whole multiplication?
One check is to look at the product of the last digit of each number: 4 8 = 32.
The end digit of this number must be the end digit of the original sum. Here they
are both 2, so it might be correct.
Another check is to do the digit sum scan. That is, add the digits of 1234, 5678
and the predicted answer, 7 006 652, which gives 10, 26 and 26.
Add the digits of any of these three numbers greater than 9, here giving 1, 8
and 8.
Now check that the product of the first two values is the same as the third value.
Here they are the same both 8 so the answer might be correct.
Try this out: Is 314 783 = 245 762?
The digit sums come to 8, 9 and 8.
The product, 8 9 = 72, has digit total 9. This is different from the last digit sum,
so the prediction is not correct.
Let the class try this out with a calculator to convince them that this procedure
always works.

Put on the board x 4x and ask the class whether they remember what this is.
They should tell you that it is the function x maps to 4x. Ensure that the class use
the correct terminology.
Put in a column underneath the numbers x 1, 2, 3, 4 and ask if anyone can
tell you what each number will map to. You should get the response:
1 4, 2 8, 3 12, 4 16
Now continue the diagram by making each term map back to itself. That is:
1 4 1, 2 8 2, 3 12 3, 4 16 4
Ask the class if they can tell you what function will map each value back to
where it started. You may need to hide the original column of numbers in order
to focus only on the other two columns.
You want to get the response x 41 x.
Tell them that this is the inverse function of x 4x. Explain that the term
inverse means here doing the opposite process to return to the original values.
Ask the class: What is the inverse function of x 5x? You may need to go
through this in the same way which you did for x 4x. Ask them to work out
that the inverse function of x 5x is x 15 x.
Discuss what is happening with the above inversion. That is, division is the
inverse of multiplication and vice versa. Ask: When we see a pair of inverse
functions, are they both inverses of each other? You may need to refer to both
x 4x and x 5x in order to show that this is true.
Now put on the board the function x x + 3, and ask if anyone can propose
what its inverse will be. Discuss each proposal and ask for a reason why the
proposal was made.
You need to lead the students to the inverse being x x 3.
Discuss with them the inverse of x x + 7, which is x x 7.
Now put on the board the function x 4x + 3 and ask for its inverse.
This is not easy to see, so you will need to break down the function into its two
steps of 4 and + 3. Show this in flow diagram notation as:
x 4 +3 4x + 3

9B3LP_01.qxd 18/09/2003 15:17 Page 7
Given that the inverse is the opposite process which returns the mapped values to their original values, the flow
diagram needs to be viewed in reverse. Reverse the arrows and start with x at the right-hand side, to give:
( x 3)

Ask: Who knows how many miles are equivalent to 8 km? (5 miles)
Use this fact to ask quick-fire questions about equivalences of the following:
Kilometres 16 24 32 40 64 80 96
Miles 10 15 20 25 40 50 60
Discuss how they need to think: How many 8s? Then multiply that by 5.
Now ask for approximations, such as 10 kilometres and 60 kilometres. Again, look for approximations of
eights. So, 10 km is just over eight, which will make it just over 5 miles. For an approximation, call it
6 miles. For 60 kilometres, divide by 8, giving 712, which gives 5 712 = 35 + 212 = 3712. As this is an
approximation, round to 38 miles.
Finish off with the class trying mentally to convert approximately each of the following:
Kilometres 20 35 50 70 90 100 200
Miles 13 22 31 44 56 63 125
As the concern is to find approximations, any answer which is close to the correct mileage will be acceptable.
The main intention is to practise mental division by 8 and multiplication by 5.

Draw on the board a pair of axes with the horizontal axis labelled Time and the vertical labelled Distance.
Ask: What might the graph look like if it were representing a car being driven at a steady speed?(Straight line.)
You may want to discuss that a steeper line represents a faster speed but you will need to create values for the
graph in order to show this.
Draw another pair of axes on the board and ask: What shape would the graph have if the car were slowing
down?
It would be a curve whose steepness becomes less and less until the curve is horizontal.
Now draw a third pair of axes on the board and ask what shape the graph would be for a car accelerating from
standstill to a steady speed.
This will show a different type of curve with a gradually increasing gradient which eventually becomes a
straight line (but not horizontal).
Discuss with the class the fact that graphs illustrate typical speeds. In real life, however, there would be many
changes in the speed of a car, resulting in a range of different graphs from the ones drawn.
Tell the class how useful graphs can be and that they can hold a lot of information.

LESSON Framework objectives Limits of sequences

Generate terms of a sequence using term-to-term and position-to-term definitions of
1.5 the sequence.

Ask: Who can multiply 15 by 13 mentally? (195)
Should anyone be able to do this, ask them to explain how they arrived at the
answer. If a different method from what will be given in the lesson is used, take
it as an alternative method.
If no one is able to do this mentally, or as an alternative from the explanation
offered, explain that you can split the sum into two parts.
As 5 3 = 15, a multiplication can be split when multiplying by 15.
For example, to find 15 13, multiply 13 by 3 to get 39 and then multiply 39
by 5.
There are various ways to multiply 39 by 5. One way is to multiply 39 by 10 and
then halve the result. The number needed is half of 390. Halve this in two parts:
half of 300 + half of 90 = 150 + 45 = 195.
Ask the class to practise multiplying 16, 21, 34, 42 and 57 by 15. The table
below can be used to check the results.
Number 16 21 34 42 57
Number 15 240 315 510 630 855

Put on the board: Divide by 5 and add 4.
Tell the class that this is a rule for creating a sequence and that this is the term-
to-term rule.
Ask someone to give you a number between 0 and 100. Use this to start the
sequence. If you wish to have more control over the numbers, then choose your
own starting number, say 1.
Using the term-to-term rule, this will generate:
1, 4.2, 4.84, 4.968, 4.9936, 4.99 872, 4.999 744, 4.999 949
Ask the class: Do you notice anything about the numbers? They should spot
that the terms are getting closer and closer to 5.
The class will need calculators to do this, or they could use a spreadsheet if

CHAPTER
2 Number 1
LESSON Framework objectives The four rules governing fractions
Use efficient methods to add, subtract, multiply and divide fractions. Cancel
2.1 common factors before multiplying and dividing.

Use a target board such as the one shown on the right.
Start by asking the students, as a group or individually, to give the first five 2 5 7 8
multiples of various numbers. 24 15 18 3
Once the idea of the multiple is well established, ask for the lowest common multiple
(LCM) of a pairs of numbers. (It may be necessary to remind students of the definition.) 6 9 27 14
Continue for as long as necessary. 12 20 10 25

This is essentially a lesson on the four rules governing fractions.
The students will have met already the addition and subtraction of fractions, so they just need reminding of the
basic rules.
Ask the class to work out 259 + 315 7 .
Outline the two methods for solving this addition. First, change to improper (top-heavy) fractions and proceed
as follows:
259 + 315 7 = 23 52
9 + 15

= 45 + 156
115
=
45 271
45 = 645 1
Second, separate the whole numbers from the fractions:
259 + 3157 = 2 + 3 + 59 + 15 7
25 21
= 5 + 45 + 45

= 5 + 46
45
= 5 + 145 1 = 645 1
Discuss the comparative advantages and disadvantages of each method. For example, the first method involves
larger numbers.
Now ask the students how to work out 256 125.
Show them both methods.
256 125 = 17 6 75
85 42 43
= 113
= 30 30
= 30
30
5 2 5 2
26 15 = 2 1 + 6 5

25
12
= 1 + 30
30
= 1 + 30 = 113
13

30
Ensure that the students understand the fact that the whole numbers are subtracted, the result of which is added
to the outcome of subtracting the fractions.
This is the first time that the students will have met multiplication and division of fractions.
One way to introduce this topic is to use calculators to investigate the answers to products such as 15 35, 57 14
and 43 38 . The students will see the rule very quickly.
Now repeat with 12 45 , 34 89 and 15 4 38 . Ask why the rule doesnt appear to work. Discuss cancelling in the initial
product and in the answer.
Explain that it is better to cancel the initial fractions, as this makes the calculations easier and means that the
answer does not need to be cancelled down. Demonstrate with:
41 25 5 31 5
3 7 2 =
9 28 10 42
Now ask for the answer to 215 178. Explain how this is done, namely:
11 15 3 33
215 178 = = = 418
5 1 8 8

9B3LP_02.qxd 18/09/2003 15:18 Page 13
Make sure students know that the mixed numbers cannot be separated as in addition or subtraction. They must
be converted to improper (top-heavy) fractions.
Division is a little harder to see. If calculators are used to investigate problems such as 27 13 , 34 45 and 23 89 ,
some students may see the method.
Most are unlikely to see that it requires turning the dividing fraction upside down and multiplying by it.
Demonstrate this with the above examples.
This is an easy method to use but not an easy one to understand. It can best be explained by examples such as
how many halves in 7? The answer is, of course, the same as multiplying by 2.
Now ask for the answer to 223 195. Explain how this is done, namely:
8 14 84 93 12
223 159 = = 1 7 = = 175
3 9 3 14 7
Do more examples if necessary.

LESSON Framework objectives Percentages and compound interest

Recognise when fractions or percentages are needed to compare proportions.
2.2 Solve problems involving percentage changes.


5% 10% 22% 13%
Ask the students for the equivalent multiplier when there is a percentage
increase or decrease. For example, 1.05 for the multiplier for a 5% increase and 16% 25% 14% 35%
0.95 for a 5% decrease.

20% 17% 6% 15%
Go round the class picking students at random and asking for the appropriate
multipliers for an increase and/or a decrease for percentages on the board. 8% 12% 712% 2%

Start by asking the students what they know about interest and how it works.
Then move on to compound interest.
Emphasise the basis of compound interest, namely: an amount of money (the
principal) is invested at an annual percentage rate(R%), and over a period of
years the value increases by R% each year.
Make sure that the students understand that the interest for each year is added to
the principal of the previous year to give the new principal for the following
year.
Work through an example. First, use the method of working out the yearly
interest and adding it on for each year; then use a multiplier. For example,
calculate how much 300 will earn when invested for 3 years at 4% interest per
annum.
First method Increase and addition
After first year: 4% of 300 = 12. So, at end of first year, you have
300 + 12 = 312.
After second year: 4% of 312 = 12.48. So, at end of second year, you
have 312 + 12.48 = 324.48.
After third year: 4% of 324.48 = 12.98. So, at end of third year, you
have 324.48 + 12.98 = 337.46.
Second method Use a multiplier
After first year: 300 1.04 = 312
After second year: 312 1.04 = 324.48
After third year: 324.48 1.04 = 337.46
Point out that the last value is rounded to the nearest penny.
Most students are likely to prefer the second method. However, some will prefer
the structured nature of the first method.
Demonstrate the use of powers on a calculator. For example, the above result is
identical to 300 (1.04)3. This gives 337.4592, which has to be rounded to the
nearest penny.
Discuss the advantage (quick) and the disadvantage (any keying errors mean no
working from which to gain partial credit).
Repeat with an example that decreases each year. For example, an ant colony
has 30 000 ants. They start to die off at the rate of 22% per day. How many ants
will be left after 7 days?
The first method is too lengthy. The second method (using the constant
multiplier of 0.78) gives:
30 000, 23 400, 18 252, 14 236.56, 11 104.52, 8661.52, 6755.99,
5269.67
Hence, there are 5270 ants left at the end of 7 days.
The class can now do Exercise 2B From Pupil Book 3.

LESSON Framework objectives Reverse percentages and percentage

2.3 Use proportional reasoning to solve a problem, choosing the correct numbers to
take as 100%, or as a whole.


1.05 0.90 1.22 0.87 0.6
Ask the students for the equivalent percentage increase or decrease for each
multiplier. For example, 1.05 represents a 5% increase. 1.16 0.75 1.14 1.35 1.3
Go round the class picking students at random and asking for the appropriate
0.8 0.81 1.06 0.65 0.02
percentage increase and/or decrease for the multipliers on the board.
0.92 1.12 1.175 0.98 1.88

Reverse percentages and how to choose the appropriate quantity to take as
100% are now going to be covered.
Ask the students for the original amount when the new value, after a 30%
increase, is 195.
Many may suggest that it is the same as a 30% decrease of 195, which is
136.50. However, when the latter amount is increased by 30%, the answer
is 177.45.
Explain that 195 represents not 100% but 130%.
Solve the problem using first the unitary method, and then a multiplier.
Method 1 Unitary method

This involves finding a single unit value, which in this case is the value
of 1%.
195 represents 130%
1.50 represents 1% (Dividing both sides by 130.)
150 represents 100% (Multiplying both sides by 100.)
Method 2 Use a multiplier

A 30% increase is represented by the multiplier 1.30.
Hence, divide 195 by 1.3 to find the original amount. This gives:
195 1.3 = 150
Discuss the disadvantages/advantages of each method. The students will

probably prefer to use the multiplier, as it is easier to work out and has fewer
steps.
Repeat with other examples if necessary.
Now ask the students: What is the percentage increase from 550 to 704?
Do the calculation on the board:
Actual increase = 704 550 = 154
154
Percentage increase = 100 = 28%
550
Emphasise that 550 is the original amount.

LESSON Framework objectives Direct and inverse proportion

Reduce a ratio to its simplest form. Use the unitary method to solve simple word
2.4 problems involving ratio, direct proportion and inverse proportion.

Give the class a ratio, such as 2 : 5, and ask them to find the missing value in
the equivalent ratio : 15 (6 : 15). Repeat with, for example, 10 : (10 : 25),
: 35 (14 : 35).
Students could use number fans or mini white boards on which to write their
answers.
Repeat with other ratios.

Ask the class to solve the following problem:
If five exercise books have a total of 175 pages, how many pages will four
exercise books have?
Students may have an intuitive idea of the answer (140 pages) but outline the
unitary method. Five books have 175 pages so, one book has 35 pages.
Therefore, four books have 4 35 = 140 pages.
Alternatively this can be considered as a ratio, giving 5 : 175 = 1 : 35 = 4 : 140.
(Note: this relates to the starter activity.)
Repeat with the following examples.
Nine canteen tables can seat 72 people. How many people can sit at eight
canteen tables?
If nine tables seat 72 people, one table would seat eight people. Therefore,
eight tables will seat 8 8 = 64 people.
Alternatively, 9 : 72 =1 : 8 = 8 : 64.
A bus with 20 passengers on board takes 10 minutes to travel from Silkstone
to Barnsley. How long will the same bus with 10 people on board take to do
the same journey?
The number of passengers does not affect the speed of the bus. So, the time
taken will be exactly the same, 10 minutes.
The following examples use inverse proportion. Students find this concept quite
difficult.
Ask the class how to do this problem.
Five men build a wall in 9 days. How long would it take six men?
The wall would take one man 5 9 = 45 days. Therefore, six men take
45 6 = 7.5 days.
Repeat with the following examples.
Three taps can fill a sink in 15 minutes. How long would five taps take to
fill the sink?
One tap would fill the sink in 3 15 = 45 minutes. Now, 5 9 = 45, so it
would take five taps 9 minutes.
When I travel at 60 mph, my car does 10 miles to a litre of petrol. How
many miles will I get per litre if I travel at 30 mph?
This is impossible to answer as the petrol consumption of a car is not just
dependent on speed.

This lesson is essentially an investigation. The class can work in groups or
individually. Keep the introduction as brief as possible.
The introduction and Example 2.15 from Pupil Book 3 are reproduced here.
3 2 1 0 1 2 3
A B C D
1 0 1
The special numbers 1, 0 and 1 divide the number line into four sets of
numbers: A, B, C and D.
A contains all the numbers less than 1. B contains all the numbers between 1
and 0. C contains all the numbers between 0 and 1 and D contains all the
numbers greater than 1.
Example 2.15 a What happens when a number from set A is multiplied by

a number from set D?
b What happens when a number from set B is divided by 1?
a Choose any number from set A, say 2. Choose any

number from set D, say +3. Multiply them together:
2 +3 = 6.
The answer belongs to set A.
Try other combinations of numbers from set A and set D.
For example:
4 +4 = 16 1.5 5 = 7.5 5 1.5 = 7.5
They all belong to set A. So, a number from set A
multiplied by a number from set D always gives a number
in set A.
b Pick numbers from set B and divide each one by 1. For
example:
0.4 1 = 0.4 23 1 = 23 0.03 1 = 0.03
The answers are the same as the values from set B. So,
they all give numbers in set B.
This example, or similar examples, could be worked through to start the
investigation.
The class can now do Exercise 2F from Pupil Book 3.

Every student will need a calculator.
First, define the reciprocal of x as 1 x.
Give some examples, such as the reciprocal of 2 is 1 2 = 0.5, the reciprocal of
10 is 1 10 = 0.1.
Now ask the class to find the reciprocal key on their calculators.
This will be marked in various ways. For example, it may look like one of the
following:
Do some examples and get the class to practise the use of this key.
Some students may find it just as easy to divide the number into 1, rather than
use the reciprocal key.
Next, ask them to find the reciprocal of each of these numbers: 40 (1 40 =
0.025) and 0.8 (1 0.8 = 1.25).
Do more examples, if necessary.

Ask the class to round the following numbers as indicated: 368 to the nearest
100, 23.9 to the nearest 10, 0.0713 to one decimal place (dp).
Ask them whether the answers have anything in common.
They may notice or may need to be prompted to state that the answers all
have one digit apart from zero.
These are examples of rounding to one significant figure (1 sf).
This is a concept that many students find hard to grasp. Emphasise that there will
be only one digit apart from zeros.
Do more examples of rounding to one significant figure, such as:
3789 4000 0.265 0.3 0.25 0.3 0.198 0.2
0.636 0.6 0.0621 0.06 0.0764 0.08
Now give some examples of how rounding to one significant figure can be used
to estimate answers to calculations. For example:
320 398 300 400 = 120 000
0.092 476 0.09 500
= 0.9 50
= 9 5 = 45

LESSON Framework objectives Simultaneous equations
Solve a pair of simultaneous equations by eliminating one variable.
3.1

Ask the class for the largest multiple of 9 less than 100. (It is 99.)
Repeat this for the largest multiples less than 100 of these numbers:
7 (98) 8 (96) 13 (91) 3 (99)
Discuss how students found the answers. They would probably have added on from known facts or used trial
and improvement. Working from known facts is a good way to find an answer.
Now ask for the largest multiple of 7 under 300. Demonstrate the following method for finding it.
Start from 300 7, which can be seen to be about 40.
Calculate 7 40 = 280, add on sevens to get 287, then 294, which is the largest multiple (as it is only
6 less than 300).
Now ask individual students to find each of the following using a similar method.
Largest multiple of 6 less than 500 (498).

Put on the board the equation x + y = 8. Ask the class to give you some solutions to the equation. Put them all
on the board. Examples are: x = 5, y = 3; x = 1, y = 7; x = 0, y = 8; x = 1, y = 9.
Now put on the board the equation 3x y = 12. Ask the class to give you some solutions of this equation.
Again, put them all on the board. Examples are: x = 4, y = 0; x = 6, y = 6; x = 2, y = 6; x = 5, y = 3.
Each equation has many solutions, but how many solutions will fit both equations simultaneously?
There is only one such solution to these two equations: x = 5, y = 3.
Explain to the class that solving simultaneous equations is an important part of mathematics and there are three
main ways of finding the unique solution.
Today, you are going to show them the method of elimination.
Put the two equations on the board again in the traditional simultaneous mode:
x+y=8 (i)
3x y = 12 (ii)
Add the two equations in columns, to get:
4x = 20 (Notice that, +y + y = 0.)
x=5
Now substitute x = 5 into equation (i) to give:
5+y=8
y=3
Show the class that this is the same solution which they had before.
Explain that, since there are two identical terms apart from their signs, the two equations are added together to
eliminate this variable.
Next, put on the board another pair of simultaneous equations:
5x + 2y = 20 (i)
3x + 2y = 16 (ii)
Since there are two identical terms (2y), 2y can be eliminated by subtracting one equation from the other. This
can be either top from bottom or bottom from top. It really depends on avoiding a negative quantity in the
resulting equation.

9B3LP_03.qxd 18/09/2003 15:18 Page 29
Hence, subtract equation (ii) from equation (i). This gives:

2x = 4 (Notice that 2y 2y = 0.)
x=2
Substitute x = 2 into equation (ii). (Chosen as it has the smallest numbers.)
6 + 2y = 16
2y = 10
y=5
Show here, how to check the solution by substituting both x and y values into equation (i). That gives:
5 2 + 2 5 = 20, which is correct for equation (i).
If the class require further examples to be worked through, use those on page 42 in Pupil Book 9.3.

LESSON Framework objectives Solving by substitution

Solve a pair of simultaneous linear equations by eliminating one variable.
3.2

Tell the class they are going to play a quick game of 24.
Give them four numbers: 1, 2, 4 and 6. Ask who can make a sum out of these
numbers whose answer is 24. Once one sum has been made, make another.
Two possible answers to this game are:
(4 6) (2 1) (4 1) (2 + 6)
Discuss the possible solutions and see who has made the most.
Next give them 1, 2, 4 and 9. Ask who can make a sum out of these numbers
whose answer is 24.
One solution is 42 + 9 1.
This game can be extended to more sets of four numbers, if you wish.

Remind the class that the last lesson was devoted to solving simultaneous
equations by adding or subtracting in order to eliminate one of the two
variables.
Now, they are going to solve equations where it is possible to eliminate one of
the variables by simple substitution.
Put on the board this pair of simultaneous equations:
x 2y = 1 (i)
2x + y = 12 (ii)
From equation (i) make x the subject:
x = 1 + 2y
Next, substitute this value for x in equation (ii):
2(1 + 2y) + y = 12
2 + 4y + y = 12
2 + 5y = 12
5y = 12 2 = 10
y=2 (Divide both sides by 5.)
Now substitute y = 2 in equation (i), which gives:
x = 1 + 2y
x=1+22=1+4
x=5
Go through another example, such as:
2x + y = 7 (i)
3x 2y = 7 (ii)
From equation (i), make y the subject:
y = 7 2x
Substitute this in equation (ii) to give:
3x 2(7 2x) = 7
3x 14 + 4x = 7
7x = 21
x=3 (Divide both sides by 7.)

Tell the class that last night in a pub quiz, you got correct answers to 28 questions out of 37. Ask them:
Approximately what percentage is this?
Jot down the answers on the board. (76% is the correct estimate.)
Ask the students closest to explain how they estimated the answer no calculators allowed.
One way is to try to get to a fraction out of 100. This can be done by multiplying both numbers by 3. This
would give 84 out of 117. Take from the 84 a third of the extra 17 from the denominator, which is about 6. This
gives 78% not a bad estimate.
Do encourage class discussion and a sharing of techniques here, as some students will have other quite
interesting ways to explore.
Once various strategies have been considered, ask for a few more to see whether they apply.

Ask the class what the nth term is of the sequence 3, 5, 7, 9, .
You want the answer T(n) = 2n + 1.
Remind the class that any linear sequence can be expressed by an nth term such as T(n) = An + B.
Today, however, you are going to be looking at quadratic sequences. Remind the class that a quadratic
sequence is one whose second differences are the same throughout the sequence.
The nth term of any quadratic sequence is given by T(n) = An2 + Bn + C.
You may want to show that this is true by substituting some values for A, B and C, generating the sequence, and
seeing what the second differences are.
Having established that this is the way to express a quadratic nth term, put on the board the sequence 10, 24,
44, 70, 102.
Then show the differences:
10 24 44 70 102
First differences 14 20 26 32
Second differences 6 6 6
In a previous investigation it was established that half the second difference is A. Hence, A = 3, which gives the
nth term as:
T(n) = 3n2 + Bn + C
When n = 1, T(1) = 10. Hence, 10 = 3 + B + C B + C = 7
When n = 2, T(2) = 24. Hence, 24 = 12 + 2B + C 2B + C = 12
This gives a pair of simultaneous equations to solve:
B+C=7 (i)
2B + C = 12 (ii)
Subtract equation (i) from equation (ii), to obtain B = 5.
Substitute B = 5 into equation (i) to give C = 2.
Hence, the nth term is T(n) = 3n2 + 5n + 2.
You should check this with the class on the next few terms.
Explain that you now have a routine for finding the nth term of a quadratic sequence T(n) = An2 + Bn + C.
Step 1 Find the second difference. Halve it to give A.
Step 2 Find T(1) and T(2), or any other pair, to give a pair of simultaneous equations to solve for B and C.
Step 3 Solve the simultaneous equations in B and C, given by Step 2.
You may need to go through another example with the class. Use one of the examples in Pupil Book 3.
The class can now do Exercise 3C from Book 3.

x
Put on the board the equation = 5 and ask the class how to solve it.
3
You should be given the response multiply both sides by 3, which gives x = 15.
(4x + 5)
Then, put on the board the equation = 7 and ask How do we solve this?
3
Again it is a matter of simplifying, step-by-step, the side which has the variable, x.
Start by multiplying both sides by 3 to give 4x + 5 = 21. Then subtract 5 from
both sides to give 4x = 16. Finally, divide both sides by 4 to give x = 4.
Next, write the following example on the board:
x 1 2x + 8
=
2 6
Explain that when there is a fraction on both sides, the first step is to find the
product of the denominators and multiply both sides by it. Here, this gives:
2 6 = 12,
12 ( x 1) 12 (2x + 8)
=
2 6
Now remind the students about cancelling fractions. Hence, the denominator on
each can be eliminated to give:
6( x 1) = 2(2x + 8)
Expand each side to give 6x 6 = 4x + 16. Show how to add 6 to each side,
then subtract 4x from each side to give 2x = 22 and x = 11.
When the class understand this process, you may want to work through a more
difficult problem, such as:
4(2x + 1) 2(2x 4)
=
5 3
Again, multiply both sides by the product of the denominators and then cancel
down, to obtain:
15 4(2x + 1) 15 2(2x 4)
=
5 3
which cancels down to 12(2x + 1) = 10(2x 4).
Expanding and simplifying gives the solution x = 13.

Ask the class if anyone can tell you the solution to x2 = 45.
It should quickly become clear that since 45 is not a square number, only an approximate answer can be given.
We are looking for the two whole numbers between which the solution lies. These will be 6 and 7, as 62 = 36
and 72 = 49. The solution looks closer to 7 than 6, so we might estimate this as 6.7 (and 6.7).
Repeat this process for the following numbers:

Tell the class that if your salary was tripled and then they took 100 away you would still earn less than two
thousand pounds a week. Then ask them how much you might be earning? (You could use a similar problem,

If you were to set the problem out as an equation it would look like
3x 100 < 2000
Go through the solution of this inequality, explaining that the rules are exactly the same as for normal
equations.
This will lead to 3x < 2100 x < 700
So, you are saying that you earn less than 700 per week.

LESSON Framework objectives Graphs showing direct proportion

Solve problems involving direct proportion, relating algebraic solutions to graphical
3.6 representation of the equations.

Tell the class that you were looking at a DVD yesterday and noted that the
running time was 135 minutes. Ask the class how many hours and minutes this
is (2 hours 15 minutes).
Discuss with the class how to calculate this, using multiples of 60 to find the
number of hours with the remainder being minutes.
Now ask: What fraction of an hour is 15 minutes? Ask for both a fraction and a
decimal answer ( 14 and 0.25).
Next ask: What fraction of an hour is 10 minutes? This is 16 as a fraction, but the
decimal is more awkward. Can the class determine what the decimal answer
would be without using a calculator?
Starting from known facts, 13 = 0.333 3333 and 16 is half of this. Hence,
16 = 0.166 6667.
Alternatively, 36 = 12 = 0.5, and 46 = 23 = 0.666 6667, so 16 = 46 36 = 0.666 6667 0.5
= 0.166 6667.
Then ask: What fraction of an hour is 5 minutes?. This is 12 1, which is half of 16 or
0.083 333.
Talk about the potential confusion of using decimal notation in time. That is,
1.50 could mean 112 hours or 1 hour 50 minutes. The students should be sure
they know which unit is being used.

Tell the class that you took a taxi journey late at night and watched the taxi fare
change on the display. The table shows the fares at various times after getting
into the taxi.
Time 00:15 00:20 00:30 00:35
Fare () 1.30 3.00 6.40 8.10
Draw a pair of axes with time on the x-axis and the fare on the y-axis. Label
them. Mark the x-axis with one hour as the principal unit, subdivided into
5-minute sections. Mark the y-axis in pounds up to 10. Ensure there is enough
room to extend the y-axis down to at least 4. Now plot the points and draw a
suitable straight line through them.
Explain to the class that as the line is straight, the two variables have a linear
relationship. Furthermore, the fare increase in a time interval is directly
proportional to the length of time. This means that the fare always increases by
the same amount for a given increase in time. Show that this works out as 1.70
every 5 minutes.
Ask the students what the equation of the line will be in terms of time, t, in
hours, and fare, f, in pounds. Remind them of the general equation of a straight
line: y = mx + c, where m is the gradient and c is the yaxis intercept.
In one hour, the fare would have increased by 12 1.70, which is 20.40.
Hence, the gradient is 20.4. Extend the vertical axis down to 4. Then
demonstrate that the line intercepts it at f = 3.8. Therefore, the equation of the
line is f = 20.4t 3.8.
Explain that the extra point used to find the equation of the line is impossible in
real-life situations, since a negative fare is meaningless.
Ask what the fare would be at 00:50 if the same rate continued.
The graph can be used, or the equation. But if the equation is used, 50 minutes
must be changed into hours ( 60 50
= 0.833 hours), giving 13.20.

Put a pair of axes on the board and draw on the line with the equation
y = 2x + 1 from (1, 1) to (3, 7).
Tell the class this is the graph of y = 2x + 1. Ask them what the graph actually
represents.
What you want as a response is: Its a collection of solutions to the equation.
Every point on the graph represents a different possible solution. For example,
(0, 1) represents x = 0, y =1, (1, 3) represents x = 1, y =3, and so on.
Ask the class for some solutions to the equation and write them down, as
coordinates.
Now, using the same axes, put on the board the graph with the equation
y = 4x 2, from (1, 6) to (3, 10).
Again, ask for some solutions for this equation. For example, (0, 2) representing
x = 0, y = 2 and (2, 6) representing x = 2, y = 6.
Ask the question: What is so special about the point where the two lines cross?
One of the students should comment that the coordinates are on each graph. So,
at that point the solution of each equation is the same. In other words, this is the
solution of the two simultaneous equations.
Show that the point where these two lines cross is (112 , 4) and that this point does
indeed satisfy both equations.
Explain to the class that an alternative way to find the solution of simultaneous

hypotenuse.
Ask the class to do the activity in Pupil Book 3, page 59.
Pythagoras theorem
Pythagoras was a Greek philosopher and mathematician who was born in about 581 BC on the island of
Samos, just off the coast of Turkey.
The following famous theorem about right-angled triangles is attributed to him.
In any right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of
c
the squares of the other two sides.

Pythagoras theorem is usually written as:
c2 = a2 + b2

4.2 Understand and apply Pythagoras theorem.

The class will need calculators for this starter.
Ask the class to copy and complete the following table.
x 15 25 35 45 55 65 75
x2
Ask the class whether they can see the rule for squaring a number that ends in 5.
Answer:
x 15 25 35 45 55 65 75
x2 225 625 1225 2025 3025 4225 5625
The last two digits of x2 are 25 and the digit(s) before the 25 is (are) the product
of the number in the tens column of x and this number plus 1.

Explain to the class that Pythagoras theorem can be used to solve various
practical problems. When solving a problem, it is helpful to proceed as follows.
Draw a diagram for the problem, clearly showing the right angle.
Decide whether the hypotenuse or one of the shorter sides needs to be found.
Label the unknown side x.
Use Pythagoras theorem to calculate x.
Round your answer to a suitable degree of accuracy.
Show the class how to do the following problem.
A ship sails 25 km due east. Then it sails for a further 45 km due south. Calculate
the distance the ship would have travelled if it had sailed the direct route.
First, draw a diagram to show the distances sailed by the ship. Then label the
direct distance x. 25
Now use Pythagoras theorem:
x2 = 252 + 452
= 625 + 2025 45
= 2650 x

So, x = 2650 = 51.5 km (1 dp).

apart, as below.
Ask them what shapes are formed when one transparency is placed on top of the
other and one of them is rotated.
Then show them that only squares and rhombuses can be formed.
Now ask the class what shapes can be formed when one of the transparencies
has parallel lines 2 cm apart. (Answer: rectangles and parallelograms)

Remind the class about tessellations, which they met in Year 7. A tessellation is a
pattern made on a plane (flat) surface with identical shapes which fit together
exactly, leaving no gaps. Explain that it is usual to draw up to about ten of the
shapes to show the tessellating pattern.
Show the class how equilateral triangles and squares tessellate.
Ask the class whether any other regular polygons will tessellate. Explain that
they will be doing a practical activity to discover which of the regular polygons
tessellate and the reason why.
Remind the class how to find the size of the interior angle of a regular polygon
by showing them an example for a regular pentagon.
x is an exterior angle of the regular pentagon.
The sum of the exterior angles for any polygon is 360. Since all the exterior
angles are equal, it follow that:
x = 360 5 = 72
y is an interior angle of the regular pentagon. Hence:
y = 180 72 = 108
For Exercise 4F, the class will require squared paper, isometric paper, card for y x

Explain to the class that the aim of the lesson is to show the difference between a practical demonstration and a
proof. A practical demonstration shows how a rule or theorem works by using a specific example, whereas a
proof shows how the rule or theorem works for all cases. A theorem is usually proved by using algebra.
The activity in Pupil Book 3, page 75 gives a practical demonstration to show Pythagoras theorem. Each

What is the area of the square and of the rectangle?
Can you explain why this practical demonstration does not work?
Answers
The area of the square is 64 cm2 and the area of the rectangle is 65 cm2. The apparent increase of 1 cm2 in the
area of the rectangle is due to the fact that the diagonal of the rectangle is not a straight line. This can be shown
by applying Pythagoras theorem.

The length of the diagonal in the rectangle should be 194 = 13.928 388 28. This diagonal is the length of the

hypotenuse of the triangle plus the length of the sloping side of the trapezium, which is 73 + 29 =
13.929 168 55.
This shows that the diagonal of the rectangle cannot be a straight line.

LESSON Framework objectives Scatter graphs and correlation

Select, construct and modify, on paper and using ICT, suitable graphical
5.2 representation to progress an enquiry, including scatter graphs to develop further
understanding of correlation. Identify key features in the data.

numbers: for example, + = .

Introduce the class to the table below, which gives the rules for combining two
scatter graphs, which have a common axis, to obtain the resulting correlation.
Positive Negative
correlation No correlation correlation
Positive correlation Positive No correlation Negative
No correlation No correlation Cannot tell No correlation
Negative correlation Negative No correlation Positive
As can be seen from the table, the resulting graph can have its axes in either
order, as this does not affect the correlation.
An easy way to remember these rules is by comparing them with the rules for
multiplying together positive and negative numbers, as shown below.
Multiply () + 0
+ + 0
0 0 The exception 0
0 +
Combining two graphs showing no correlation can be misleading, as the answer
could be a graph with either positive, negative or no correlation. Hence you
cannot tell just by using the rules.
Take, for example, the case of the fish caught off Rhyl.
Hours of sunshine
Hours of sunshine
Temperature (C)
Number of fish caught daily off Rhyl Number of fish caught daily off Rhyl Temperature (C)
In this example, the two left-hand graphs show no correlation but combining
hours of sunshine with temperature gives a positive correlation.

Tell the class that 12 students marks were collected from their tests in
three different subjects, and two scatter graphs created. Then put these
graphs on the board.
Ask the class to tell you what the subject of each test could be.
Then tell the class that they are actually Mathematics (Test A), Science
Test B
(Test B) and Art (Test C).
Invite them to discuss the correlation between the Mathematics and
Science scores, and between the Mathematics and Art scores.
Now prompt the class to tell you the correlation between the Science and
the Art scores. In this case, there would be negative correlation. Test A
Now ask them to look at the rules for combining two correlation graphs
in Pupil Book 3. They could copy into their books the table for
correlations and the table for multiplying together positive and negative
numbers.
Point out how similar the rules are, but emphasise the exception to the
Test C
rule, namely, two graphs, each showing no correlation, do not necessarily
mean that the derived graph would have no correlation.

LESSON Framework objectives Scatter graphs and lines of best fit

Select, construct and modify, on paper and using ICT, suitable representation to
5.3 progress an enquiry, including scatter graphs to develop further understanding of
correlation, lines of best fit by eye, understanding what they represent.

Using students Show me white boards or sheets of paper, ask the class to draw
and show you a sketch illustrating positive correlation.
Ask a student to give an example of two variables having positive correlation.
Ask those who think that their sketches show strong positive correlation, to keep
showing their sketches.
Discuss different strengths of positive correlations.
Repeat for negative correlation.
Briefly talk about no correlation.

Continuing from the Oral and mental starter, ask a student to draw a strong
positive correlation on the board or OHP.
Introduce the idea that it could represent the test results for Paper 1 and Paper 2
of the SATs. Label the axes with graduation marks and Paper 1 and Paper 2.
Tell them that a student was absent for the second paper but, although they
could not have an official level, the school wanted to know how the student
might have performed.
Ask the class to describe the trend. Students who do well on Paper 1 usually do
well on Paper 2.
Explain that in order to make an accurate guess at the missing students Paper 2
score, you are going to put a trend line (called a line of best fit) on the scatter
graph. Discuss where the line should go. The Pupil Book suggests using a ruler
to draw a line between the plotted points, passing as close as possible to all of
them, but you could also show them the idea of covering the points with a
finger. In this case the line of best fit will run down the middle of the finger.
Draw in a line of best fit. It is important to stress the need to use a ruler and also
that different students would have slightly different lines of best fit.
Now ask a student to come out and read off the Paper 2 score.

In Question 2, the distance which a child lives from the shops will depend on the parent.

LESSON Framework objectives Time series graphs

5.4 representation to progress an enquiry, including line graphs for time series. Identify
key features present in the data.

Ask individual students to give different units of time. You may need to give an
example, such as months.
Write any correct answers on the board or OHP.
For each example, draw a horizontal scale and put a few labels on it, as shown
on the right. January February March
Other examples which they may offer could include year, season, hour and days
of the week.

Tell the class that the aim is to look at different types of graph involving time.
Explain that for all the types of graph which they are going to look at or produce,
the time axis is always the horizontal axis.
Invite the class to look at Graph 1 in Pupil Book 3 (mean temperature difference
from normal for the UK in 2002).
Ask them to give some facts from the graph. For example, in 10 out of 12
months, the mean temperature was above normal; February and March showed
the greatest differences. You could prompt them by asking what they can tell you
about February and March.
Then ask the students to look at the winter months and the summer months and
compare the weather. They should observe that there are bigger temperature
changes in the winter months.
Now tell the class that you want them to look at the other graphs in Pupil
Book 3. This activity could be done individually or in small groups. Suggest that
they write down any key features of the graphs.

LESSON Framework objectives Cumulative frequency diagrams

Find the median and quartiles for large data sets. Estimate the median and
5.6 interquartile range of a large set of grouped data.

Write a blank table on the board or OHP.
Ask the class to indicate if their birthday is in January. Record the number in the
table.
Repeat for February and so on for the whole year.
Now ask them to look at the table and tell you how many students have a
birthday in the first month of the year, the first two months of the year, the first
three months and so on. Add extra columns to your table and record the data as
shown.
Prompt the students to explain how they worked out each answer.
Complete the cumulative frequency column in the table. For example:
Month Number of students Birthdays Cumulative frequency
January 5 First month 5
February 7 First two months 12
March 2 First three months 14


Continuing from the Oral and mental starter, explain to the class they are about
to learn how to estimate medians and quartiles for large sets of grouped data.
Draw the axes for a cumulative frequency graph on the board. Write Month
along the horizontal axis and Cumulative frequency along the vertical axis.
Plot the origin and say this is the beginning of January so there are no birthdays.
Discuss with the class where they think the next point should be plotted. Use the
data obtained in the starter.
Stress that in order to include, for example, all five students, you must plot at the
end of January and so on the upper class boundaries.
Complete the graph and ask the class to copy the tables and the graph onto
graph paper, choosing suitable scales so that it uses most of the page.
Now ask the class whether they think it would be better to join the points using
straight lines or a curve. Explain that they can use either unless a question
specifies polygon or curve.
If some students are waiting for others, they can start to draw the graphs from

read off their values.
Write on the board Median = , Lower quartile = , Upper quartile =
and ask them to copy and fill in their answers.
Now ask the class to compare their answers. There may be slight differences.
Explain that the slight differences in the graphs and the fact that they are using
grouped data are why their results are estimates.
Finish off by giving the class the formula for finding the interquartile range:
Interquartile range = Upper quartile Lower quartile
Write Interquartile range = And ask them to work out their value and write it

LESSON Framework objectives Estimation of a mean from grouped

data
5.7 Estimate the mean of a large set of grouped data.

Introduce a counting stick, as shown below.
Tell the class that, for example, one end is 12 and the other end is 16. Then ask them the value of the mid-
point.
Repeat this, increasing the level of difficulty each time. For example, using fractions and decimals.
Now give the class the end values. Tell them that you want, for example, the product of eight and the mid-
values. So, using 12 and 16, the answer would be 8 14 = 112.
Repeat.

Tell the class that they are going to be estimating the means of large sets of grouped data.
Remind them of the key words which they have met before in this context, such as mid-value, frequency,
mean, estimate and so on. You could ask the students for definitions.
Put the numbers 10, 12, 12, 12 on the board and ask the class to tell you the mean. Hopefully, they will say
11.5.
Now write the same data in a grouped frequency table and ask the same question.
Frequency
10 1
12 3
Clearly, you should get the same answer, but students may suggest the answer 11 (as it is half way between
10 and 12).
Point out that every piece of data has to be counted, so there are three 12s (36) and a 10 (total 46). This is then
divided by 4 (total frequency) to give the answer 11.5.
Now refer them to the example in Pupil Book 3, page 96. Point out that, as in the last section on cumulative
frequency, any results will be estimates because you do not know the original (individual) data as we are
dealing with grouped data.
Explain that in order to estimate the mean, we have to use mid-values as these offer the best guess of the value
of the average of the data in a class interval.
Work through the example to show the class how to estimate the mean using a table with four columns, as
shown below.

LESSON Framework objectives Similar triangles
Find points that divide a line in a given ratio, using the properties of similar
6.1 triangles.

Invite the class to imagine two 10p coins, one of which is held still while the other coin is rolled around it so
that the coins are always in contact.
Now, ask the class how many revolutions the moving coin will make before it returns to its starting position.

factor of 2.
A A
B C
B C
Triangle ABC has been mapped onto triangle ABC by an enlargement of scale factor 2.
Under an enlargement all of the angles are the same size and corresponding sides are in the same ratio.
So, AB : AB = AC : AC = BC : BC = 1 : 2.
AB AC BC
This can also be written as = = = 2.

LESSON Framework objectives Metric units for area and volume

Use units of measurement to calculate, estimate, measure and solve problems in a
6.2 variety of contexts; convert between area measures (mm2 to cm2, cm2 to m2, and
vice versa) and between volume measures (mm3 to cm3, cm3 to m3, and vice
versa).

Multiplying and dividing by 10, 100, 1000 and 10 000 will be revised.
On the board, draw the grid on the right, or use a prepared OHT.
35 0.0035 3500
Tell the class that the starting number is 3.5.
Ask individual students to point to the number that is:
3.5 10 3.5 100 3.5 1000 3.5 10 000 0.000 35 3.5 0.35
Then ask the class to explain the rules for multiplying by powers of 10.
Next, ask individual students to point to the number that is:
350 0.035 35 000
3.5 10 3.5 100 3.5 1000 3.5 10 000
Finally, ask the class to explain the rules for dividing by powers of 10.

Tell the class that the lesson is about converting the metric units of area, volume and capacity.
Remind them that the metric units for area are: the square millimetre (mm2),
the square centimetre (cm2) and the square metre (m2).
Draw two squares on the board and explain why 1 cm 10 mm
1 cm2 = 100 mm2.
Draw another two squares on the board and explain to the
1 cm 1 cm2 10 mm 100 mm2
class why 1 m2 = 10 000 cm2.
The students can now copy the following into their books:
Metric units of area
100 mm2 = 1 cm2
1m 100 cm
10 000 cm2 = 1 m2
2
10 000 m = 1 hectare (ha)
1 hectare = 100 ares 1m 1 m2 100 cm 10 000 cm2
Note that, for measuring the area of fields, the m2 is too small,
while the km2 is too large. Hence, a more conveniently sized
unit is used the are, which is 100 m2. Land area is usually
given in units of 100 ares, where 100 ares = 1 hectare.
Remind the class that the metric units for volume are: the cubic millimetre (mm3),
the cubic centimetre (cm3) and the cubic metre (m3).
Draw two cubes on the board and explain why 1 cm 10 mm
1 cm3 = 1000 mm3. 1 cm 10 mm
Draw another two cubes on the board and explain why
1 m3 = 1 000 000 cm3.
The students can now copy the following into their books: 1 cm 1 cm3 10 mm 1000 mm3
Metric units of volume
1000 mm3 = 1 cm3
1 000 000 cm = 1 m3
3
Remind the class that the metric units for capacity 1m 100 cm
1m 100 cm
are: the litre (l), the centilitre (cl) and the
millilitre (ml). They can now copy the following into
their books:
Metric units of capacity 1m 1 m3 100 cm 1 000 000 cm3
1 m3 = 1000 litres
1000 cm3 = 1 litre
1 cm3 = 1 millilitre
Stress the following:
To convert from a large unit to a smaller unit, always multiply by the conversion factor.
To convert from a small unit to a larger unit, always divide by the conversion factor.

9B3LP_06.qxd 18/09/2003 15:19 Page 73
Show the class the following examples of conversion.

35 000 cm2 to m2 0.35 cm3 to mm3 3500 cm3 to litres

Explain to the class that a rate of change is the way of comparing how one quantity changes with another. Rates
of change can always be recognised because their units contain per or p or / which means for every.
Write the following examples of compound measures on the board:
Speed with units miles per hour (mph), kilometres per hour (km/h) or metres per second (m/s).
Density with units grams per cubic centimetre (g/cm3).
Fuel consumption with units miles per gallon (mpg) or kilometres per litre (km/l).
Explain that speed is the distance travelled per unit of time and that the relationship between speed, distance
and time can be expressed by the following three formulae:
Distance Distance
Speed = Distance = Speed Time Time =
Time Speed
When we refer to speed, we usually mean average speed, as it is unusual to maintain the same, exact speed in
one journey.

CHAPTER
7 Number 2
LESSON Framework objectives Standard form
Write numbers in standard form.
7.1 Use algebraic methods to convert a recurring decimal to a fraction in simple
cases.

Use a target board, such as the one shown on the right, to do this exercise in
x3 x5 x4 x2
multiplying and dividing powers.
Point to two powers and ask a student to multiply or divide them. x8 x7 x7 x6
Ensure that the class know which way round to do the division.
x3 x6 x8 x4
Recall the rules for multiplying and dividing powers.
x2 x10 x9 x5

Students may have met the idea of standard form through extension activities.
Explain that a way is needed to express and use very large and very small
numbers without writing out many zeros. For example 3 400 000 000 can be
written as 3.4 109, and 0.000 072 can be written as 7.2 105.
Ask students if they can see the connection with the original number and the
power of 10.
Make sure they know and understand the definition of a standard form number:
A 10n, where 1 A < 10 and n is an integer.
Demonstrate how to convert ordinary numbers to standard form. For example:
540 000 = 5.4 105 0.000 005 89 = 5.89 106
89 630 000 = 8.963 10 7
The class may realise that this is a matter of moving the digits and counting the
number of places that they move.
Repeat with examples such as
23 106 = 2.3 10 106 = 2.3 107
and
0.56 104 = 5.6 101 104 = 5.6 105
Repeat with more examples as necessary.
Now reverse the process and ask the class to convert numbers in standard form
to ordinary numbers. For example:
3.4 105 = 340 000 3.6 107 = 0.000 000 36
They should be able to relate this to work done previously with powers of 10.
Repeat with more examples as necessary.

Tell the class that they are going to learn how to multiply together two numbers
in standard form.
Give them: (3 106) (3 102) and ask them what they think the answer is.
Some students may respond intuitively that it is 9 108.
Explain the process of separating the numbers and the powers:
3 3 106 102.
Now give the class: (6 106) (3 102). Ask them for the answer. Some will
probably respond 18 108.
Ask them what is wrong with this. Explain that it is not in standard form.
Demonstrate how to get it in standard form. That is, 1.8 10 108 = 1.8 109.
Repeat with: (2.5 102) (8 105). This gives 20 107 = 2 10 107 =
2 106.
Do other examples as necessary.
Next give the class: (4.56 103) (2.13 107). They will realise that this is
difficult without the use of a calculator.
Explain how to use a calculator to enter numbers in standard form.
4.56 103 is entered as:
4 . 5 6 EXP 3
2.13 107 is entered as:
2 . 1 3 EXP 7 +/
Note that on some makes of calculator, the appropriate key may be marked EE
or with some other notation, and that the sign change key may operate
differently.
Explain the calculator notation which relates to the previous plenary.
Do the above calculation. The display should say 0.00 097 128 or 9.712804.
Convert this to the standard form number 9.7128 104 or round to 9.71 104
(3 sf).
Make sure that no students enter 4.56 103 as:
4 . 5 6 1 0 EXP 3
This will give a value of 4.56 104.

Ask individual students to give the limits of each
number chosen by you to a given accuracy. For 5 kg 25 m 400 people 200 ml
example, 100 marbles (to nearest 10), 95 to 104;
5 litres 80 cm 2000 400 sweets
80 cm (to nearest cm), 79.5 to 80.5.
The students may need to have some of the rules of 50 g 100 cars 150 mm 220 ducks
upper and lower bounds explained to them,
600 mph 600 people 40 km 120 bees
particularly the difference between discrete and
continuous data.

Ensure that the class can work out the limits, called the upper and lower
bounds, of numbers given to degrees of accuracy.
Make sure they are happy with the difference between limits of accuracy for
discrete quantities, such as a number of people, and continuous quantities, such
as the weight of people.
Some students may be happier to have a rule for continuous data:
Lower bound = Value Half the degree of accuracy
Upper bound = Value + Half the degree of accuracy
For example, 500 given to the nearest 10 has a lower bound of 500 half of
10 = 495 and an upper bound of 500 + half of 10 = 505
23 cm to the nearest centimetre has upper and lower bounds of 23 half a
centimetre: 22.5 23 < 23.5
Emphasise that the upper value is a limit and can be given as a value and need
not be truncated to 23.4 or 23.4999.
This is a concept students find hard to grasp. Justify it by using the notation:
22.5 Value < 23.5.
In other words, the value can equal the lower bound but cannot equal the upper
bound.
Give students the following example:
One piece of wood is 25 cm long and another is 30 cm long, both
measurements to the nearest centimetre. If the pieces are joined end to end,
what are the upper and lower bounds of the combined length?
Upper and lower bounds of first piece: 24.5 Length < 25.5
Upper and lower bounds of second piece: 29.5 Length < 30.5
Lowest possible combined length: 24.5 + 29.5 = 54 cm
Largest possible combined length: 25.5 + 30.5 = 56 cm
Upper and lower bounds of combined length: 54 Combined length < 56 cm
Next, do the following example:
One bag of marbles contains 200 marbles, measured to the nearest 10. Another
bag of marbles contains 120 marbles, measured to the nearest 10. If both bags
are combined, what are the upper and lower bounds for the number of marbles
in the bag.
Upper and lower bounds for first bag: 195 Marbles 204
Upper and lower bounds for second bag: 115 Marbles 124
Emphasise why these limits are precise.
Upper and lower bounds for combined bags: 310 Marbles 328

Following the previous plenary, the students will have some idea of how the
maximum and minimum values are combined. To help them the following table
could be copied into their books.
For two numbers a and b with upper and lower bounds amax a < amin and
bmax b < bmin

Work through the following examples.
A jar contains 850 ml of oil (accurate to the nearest 10 ml). A cup containing
250 ml (to the nearest 10 ml) is poured out. What are the upper and lower
bounds of the amount of oil remaining in the jar?
Least amount left: 845 255 = 590.
Greatest amount left: 855 245 = 610
Upper and lower bounds of amount left: 590 Amount left < 610 ml
A runner sprints 400 metres in 55 seconds, each measurement to the nearest
unit. What are the upper and lower bounds of the runners speed?
Lowest speed: 399.5 55.5 = 7.20 m/s
Greatest speed: 400.5 54.5 = 7.35 m/s (3 sf)
The same runner runs for 40 minutes at a speed of 8 mph, both values to two
significant figures. What are the upper and lower bounds of the distance run?
Least distance: 39.5 7.5 = 296.25 60 = 4.94 miles
Greatest distance: 40.5 8.5 = 344.25 60 = 5.74 miles (3 sf)

LESSON Framework objectives Recurring decimals

Know that a recurring decimal is an exact fraction. Use algebraic methods to
7.6 convert a recurring decimal to a fraction in simple cases.

The class will need calculators. 12 37 7

their calculators.
These can then be written on the board and the recurring notation explained to
32
the class. For example: 154 = 0.26, 33
= 0.96.
Ask if there is any relationship between the denominators which give
terminating decimals? They are all multiples of powers of 2 (2, 4, 8, 16, ),
powers of 5 (5, 25, 125, ), powers of 10 (10, 100, 1000, ), or products of
these, such as 40 (4 10), 50 (5 10) .

This follows on from the Oral and mental starter.
Ask: How would you write a recurring decimal as a fraction: for example, 0.454

545 = 0.45?
Give them the chance to see whether they can find the answer by trial and
improvement. They may find the answer of 115.
Outline the following method.
Let F = 0.454 545 45 (1)
Then 100F = 45.454 545 (2)
Subtract equation (1) from (2): 99F = 45
45 5
Divide through by 99: F = = (Cancel by 9).
99 11
Ask: Why multiply by 100?
Establish that we have to multiply by the power of 10 equivalent to the number
of recurring digits.
26
Now repeat with 0.7 ( 97 ), 0.234 ( 111
).
Ask: Can anyone see a connection or a short cut?
Establish that when there is just one recurring digit, the denominator will be 9;
when there are two recurring digits, the denominator will be 99; and when there
are three recurring digits, the denominator will be 999.
Be careful! This rule works only when the recurring digits are the only digits after

the decimal point. It will not work with a number such as 0.377 777 7 = 0.37.
Give some examples:
6 2 39 13 675 25
0.6 = = 0.39 = = 0.675 = =
9 3 99 33 999 37

Put this recurring decimal on the board: 0.277 777 77 = 0.27.
Give the students a few moments to see whether they can find its fraction by trial
and improvement.
Now work through the procedure.
Let F = 0.277 777 77 (1)
Multiply by through10: 10F = 2.777 777 77 (2)
Subtract equation (1) from (2): 9F = 2.5
2.5 5
Divide through by 9: F = =

Repeat with 0.166 66 (16 ) and 0.416 666 (12 5 )

LESSON Framework objectives Efficient use of a calculator

Use a calculator efficiently and appropriately to perform complex calculations with
7.7 numbers of any size, knowing not to round during intermediate steps of a calculation.
Use the constant, and sign change keys, the function keys for powers, roots and
fractions, brackets and the memory.

Due to the variety of calculators in use and the problems this may cause, there is
no Oral and mental starter. However, some of the main keys listed in the
Framework objectives could be discussed and found for the different makes of
calculator. Some students may need help to locate the inverse/shift keys, which
are needed on many calculators in order to do powers.

This is a review lesson on the effective use of calculators.
The class should have met most of the keys before.
Do a variety of problems using the appropriate keys. Make sure the students can
find these keys on their calculators.

Work out, for example, 5.32 . This requires the square root key, the key
and the square key. The answer is 0.334 425 254 9 0.33.
Discuss the need to round answers to a sensible degree of accuracy.
Now take 4.55. This requires the power key. The answer is 1845.281 25 1845.
As the next example, work out:
(78 12
5 ) ( 15
11 7 )
+ 12
55
This requires the fraction key and the brackets keys. The answer is
158.
Finally, work out:
3.56(43.2 17.48)

(4.53 1.2) 0.92
This requires the brackets keys. The answer is 29.887 452 67 29.89 30.

CHAPTER
8 Algebra 4
LESSON Framework objectives Index notation with algebra:
negative powers
8.1 Know and use the index laws (including in generalised form) for multiplication and
division of positive integer powers; begin to extend understanding of index notation
to negative and fractional powers, recognising that the index laws can be applied
to these as well.

Ask the class approximately how many litres there are to a gallon. The correct answer is about four and a half.
Then ask how many litres there are in 8 gallons. The answer is 36.
Ask them how they arrived at this answer and discuss the various methods used.
One way is to multiply the 4 by 8, getting 32, then to find the result of 8 halves, which is 4. Next, add the two
together, giving 32 + 4 = 36.
Now ask how many litres there are in: 12 gallons (54 litres); 22 gallons (99 litres); 17 gallons (7612 litres).
Now ask approximately how many gallons are in 60 litres.
Discuss the strategy. For an approximation, you would not try to divide by 4.5. Rather, you would divide by
4 and also by 5 and go for a midway answer. Here this gives 60 4 = 15 and 60 5 = 12. Approximately
halfway between 15 and 12 is 13.5, which is rounded up to 14.
Ask the class how many gallons there are in: 100 litres (22 gallons); 70 litres (16 gallons); 40 litres (9 gallons);
134 litres (30 gallons).

Write on the board x2 + x3. Ask the class if they can simplify this expression. The expression cannot be
simplified because it contains two unlike terms.
Now, write on the board x2 x3. Ask the class if they can simplify this expression. If someone comes up with
the correct answer of x5, ask him/her to explain how.
Have a discussion with the class about multiplying expressions containing powers and adding the powers. Ask
if anyone can generalise the rule. You are looking for something like:
xa xb = xa + b
Ask if anyone can prove this rule. You want something like:
k2 k3 = (k k) (k k k) = k k k k k = k 5 = k2 + 3
Now, write on the board 4m2 3m. Ask the class to simplify this expression. If someone comes up with the
correct answer of 12m3, ask him/her to explain how, i.e., that they multiplied the coefficients and added the
powers. If not, remind the class of this and that m is the same as m1 and work through some more examples.
Next, move on to dividing powers. Write on the board the expression 8m5 2m3 and ask if anyone can tell you
what the answer should be. Again, if someone comes up with the correct answer of 4m3, ask him/her to explain
how, i.e., that they divided the coefficients and subtracted the powers. If not, work through this with the class
and introduce some further examples.
You should explore the proof of this with an example such as:
kkkkkk
k 6 k2 = = k k k k = k4 = k 6 2
kk
Now write on the board the expression m3 m5 and ask the students to simplify this expression. You should get
the response m2. Make sure that the students understand that numbers and variables with negative indices
follow the same rules as numbers and variables with positive indices.
Ask the students what they think m2 represents. If the class covered standard form recently, they may bring this
knowledge to this discussion.
Introduce the investigation on page 139 of Pupil Book 9.3. Go through the first two parts with the class, then let
them complete the investigation individually or in pairs. Discuss the results with the whole class.

LESSON Framework objectives Square roots, cube roots and other

fractional powers
8.2 Estimate square roots and cube roots.
Begin to extend understanding of index notation to negative and fractional powers,
recognising that the index laws can be applied to these as well.

Tell the class that approximation is a valuable skill. It enables a quick check to
be made on calculations maybe even to ensure that they have used their
calculators correctly.
For example, ask the class if they can estimate the answer to 41 672 divided
by 8. Ask for quick approximations and write them up on the board. After a few
have been given, discuss with the class any strategy which they used to estimate
division by 8.
One way is to halve the dividend, then to halve the result, and finally to halve
the second result to complete the division. Doing this with 41 672 gives the
approximate sequence:
41 672 20 000 10 000 5000
Finally, ask the class to estimate the following (all divisions by 8):
629 537 300 000 150 000 80 000
173 492 90 000 45 000 22 000
23 774 12 000 6000 3000
117 008 60 000 30 000 15 000

Ask the class for the square root of 25.
If only 5 is given, remind the class that 5 is also a square root of 25.
Now ask the class to estimate the square root of 20. Put their suggestions on the
board.
Discuss with them any answers that are obviously wrong, and how they know
they are wrong. For example, the square root of 20 must be larger than 4 as
4 4 = 16, which is less than 20. Similarly, the square root of 20 must be less
than 5.
Hence, the square root of 20 must lie between 4 and 5. It looks halfway, so a
good estimate would be 4.5.
Ask the class to work out the correct answer using their calculators. You can use
this as an opportunity to show or remind them how to find square roots on their
calculators.
The calculator will show the square root of 20 to be 4.472 135 955. This rounds
to 4.5 so, the approximation was correct. Ensure that the class know the

correct symbol, , for square root.
Ask the class for the cube root of 8. You will need to explain that the cube root is
the number that gives 8 when multiplied by itself three times. It is written as
3
8 . In this example, the answer is 2.
Ask the class why they think that there are no negative answers to cube roots.
Write on the board a few of the better-known cube roots: the cube root of 27 is
3; the cube root of 125 is 5, and the cube root of 1000 is 10. Discuss why the
numbers for which the roots are given have grown so quickly.
Introduce the investigation on page 141 of Pupil Book 3. Go through the first
example with the class, then let them complete the investigation.

Finally, discuss with the class the generation x n = nx.

LESSON Framework objectives Quadratic graphs

Plot graphs of simple quadratic functions.
8.3
Ask if anyone has been to France or Germany recently. If someone has, ask how
many euros he/she got for a pound.
There are approximately 1.50 euros to the pound. Hence, an easy way to make
a comparison while shopping in Europe is to divide the price in euros by 3, then
double the result to get the approximate price in pounds.
Go through a few examples, such as:
25 euros: Dividing by 3 gives about 8, doubling this gives 16. So 25 euros
is about 16.
37 euros: Dividing by 3 gives about 12, doubling this gives 24. So 37 euros
is about 24.
Now ask the students to try this themselves, to convert the following euro prices
to the approximate equivalent in pounds: 9 euros (6), 15 euros (10), 22 euros
(14), 29 euros (20), 49 euros (32).

Put on the board y = mx + c, and ask the class what type of equation this is.
You want the answer linear. Then ask them what is special about the graph
drawn from an equation like this.
You want the answer: Its a straight line. If they do not also mention that m is
the gradient and c is the y-axis intercept, try to tease this from them.
Then put on the board the equation y = ax2 + bx + c, and ask if anyone knows
what type of equation this is.
You want the answer quadratic. This may not be known, so explain the term,
and that it is used because the highest power is a square.
Tell the class that, today, they are going to look at the graphs of equations like
this. Put the equation y = x2 4x + 3 on the board. Then tell them that you are
going to go through the drawing of this graph with them.
Start by putting a table on the board, as below.
x 1 0 1 2 3 4
x2 1 0 1 4 9 16
4x 4 0 4 8 12 16
3 3 3 3 3 3 3
y= x2 + 2x + 3 8 3 0 1 0 3
Complete this table with help from the class. Plot the coordinates given by the
table on a pair of axes drawn on the board. Plot the coordinates to show a
smooth curve.
Explain that the U-shaped curve is typical for a graph from a quadratic equation,
but do tell them that when the x2 part is negative, the graph will be an inverted
U-shape.
Ensure the class realise that quadratic graphs will always be curved, with no
straight lines and no kinks.

8.4
Ask the class whether anyone knows the square root of 400.
After some guesses, someone may come up with the correct answer of 20. Ask
him/her how they worked it out.
The quick way to get the solution is to recognise that 400 = 4 100. The square
root of each of these numbers is known, which gives the answer 2 10 = 20.
Ask for the square root of 900. The correct answer of 30 should now be
forthcoming, but may still create a discussion before everyone sees the
reasoning.
Continue in this way, asking for square roots of: 1600 40; 4900 70;
12 100 110; 810 000 900; 90 000 300.
Now ask if anyone can estimate the square root of 377.
Let the question provoke discussion in the class with different suggestions being
put on the board. If the correct answer of 19 is offered, ask how the answer was
worked out.
Explain that the number can be broken down into 3.77 100. The square root of
100 is 10, and the square root of 3.77 can be estimated at between 1 and 2, but
quite close to 2. The approximation 1.9 is quite reasonable, giving the root as
1.9 10 = 19.
Repeat with other examples, such as: 805 28; 548 23; 971 31;
457 21.

Put on the board y = mx + c. Ask the class what type of equation this is and what
is special about its graph. They should remember that it is linear and has a
straight line graph.
Then put on the board the equation y = ax2 + bx + c. Ask if anyone knows what
type of equation this is and what is special about its graph.
You want the answer quadratic, and that the graph has a U-shape or an
inverted U-shape.
Then put on the board the equation y = x3 + 4x2, and ask the class if they know
what type of equation this is.
Explain that it is called a cubic equation because the highest power in the
equation is a cube.
Tell the class you are going to go through the drawing of this graph with them.
Start by putting a table on the board, as below.

x3 125 64 27 8 1 0 1 8
4x2 100 64 36 16 4 0 4 16
y = x3 + 4x2 25 0 9 8 3 0 5 24
Complete this table with help from the class. Plot the coordinates given by the
table on a pair of axes drawn on the board. Join up the coordinates to show a
smooth curve with two turning points.
Explain that this is a typical shape for a graph from a cubic equation. However,
sometimes the two turning points coincide, giving the graph a single twist. One
example of such a graph is given by y = x3 + 3x2 + 3x +1 (see Pupil Book page
146). Also tell them that if the x3 part is negative, the graph will start in the
second quadrant (top left-hand corner) instead of in the third quadrant (bottom
left-hand corner.)
Ensure the class realise that this type of graph will always be curved, having
either two bends or a single twist.

CHAPTER
9 Handling Data 2
LESSON Framework objectives Probability statements
Use the vocabulary of probability in interpreting results involving uncertainty and
9.1 prediction.

Use a counting stick as a probability scale.
0 1
Explain to the class that the stick is a probability scale. Tell them that one end is zero. Ask them for the value of
the other end.
Now point at the centre of the stick and ask them to tell you an event which has a probability of 0.5.
(For example, obtaining a Head on a fair coin.)
Now say to the class that you will point out a probability of something that happens and they will have to show
you the probability that it does not happen. For example, you point to 0.1 on the stick, the class would point to
0.9. Repeat this quickly for different values.
Finish by asking why Event happens and Event does not happen is not always at 0.5 (as there are two
choices). Ask the class to give you examples to explain the reason, such as dice P(6) = 16 , P(not 6) = 65 .

Remind the class that they should be able to find the probability of a range of situations, all of which they have
already met. Draw their attention to the tabular summaries in Pupil Book 3.
Move on to a brief discussion of independent events, giving them this definition:
Two events are said to be independent when the outcome of one of them does not affect the outcome of
the other event.
Tell the class that most of the combined events they have dealt with so far have been independent. Give as an
example a dice being rolled at the same time as a coin is tossed. Ask them whether they think that the score on
the dice may affect how the coin lands Heads or Tails.
Two other aims of this lesson are to give students an understanding of when statements can be misleading even
though they have apparently been deduced logically, and to increase their familiarity with the vocabulary of
probability.
Write on the board a = b and b = c. Ask the class to give you an equation connecting a and c. They should
respond a = c.
Now replace the statements with the following sentence.
Amy likes Bob and Bob likes chips.
Ask the class to give you a statement connecting Amy and chips! Hopefully, the class will realise that the logic
here does not necessarily work.
Explain that sometimes statements may seem logical but are not necessarily true.
Tell the class that you have five names on five separate pieces of paper, four boys and one girl. Ask them which
statement is true when one piece of paper is picked at random.
There is an even chance of picking the girl because there are both boys and girls (meaning there are two
choices).
There is no chance of picking the girl because she is outnumbered.
The probability of picking the girl is one fifth because there is a one in five chance.
Explain to the class that these are the sort of statements they will have to consider. Their answers will require an
explanation, not just responses such as It is incorrect. Their explanations could include what the true
statements should be.

LESSON Framework objectives Mutually exclusive events and

exhaustive events
9.2 Identify all the mutually exclusive outcomes of an experiment. Know that the sum
of probabilities of all mutually exclusive outcomes is 1 and use this when solving
problems.
Use efficient methods to add, subtract, multiply and divide fractions.

Use a target board as shown on the right.
Ask the class to pick out fractions and decimals which add up to one. 12 0.25 14 0.85 18
Encourage them to give additions which involve more than two 0.15 34 0.125 58 0.625
fractions/decimals: for example, 0.5 + 0.125 + 38 .
Ask them how they worked it out when they mixed fractions with 78 0.1 38 0.5 0.75
decimals.
Now give them one value and ask them to make it add up to 1, with two other
fractions or decimals. They may use either the target board values or their own.
For example: you say 0.2 and they give 0.5 + 0.3.

Give the class the example of a bag which contains three blue, two yellow and
five green balls, from which only one ball is allowed to be picked at random.
The probabilities for picking each colour are:
3
P(blue) = 10
P(yellow) = 10 2 = 15
P(green) = 10 = 12
5
The events picking a blue ball, picking a yellow ball and picking a green ball
can never happen at the same time, given that only one ball is allowed to be
taken out. Such events are call mutually exclusive, because they do not overlap.
Using the same example, deal with the probability of an event which will not
happen. Thus, the probability of not picking out a blue ball is give by:
P(not blue) = 10 7
because there are seven outcomes which are not blue balls. Then note that
P(blue) + P(not blue) = 10 3 + 10
7 = 1
So, knowing P(Event happening), then:
P(Event not happening) = 1 P(Event happening)
Now ask the class to sum the probabilities of picking the three coloured balls.
Hopefully, they will get the correct answer of 1. Then tell them that because
there are no other possibilities, they are called exhaustive events.
Tell them that the events are also mutually exclusive and that when events are
both exhaustive and mutually exclusive, their probabilities always add up to 1.

Use efficient methods to add, subtract, multiply and divide fractions. Cancel
common factors before multiplying or dividing.

Write some fractions on the board: for example 62, 10 5 and 86.
Ask the class to tell you each fraction in its simplest form, or ask them to cancel
each fraction down to its simplest form.
Then ask them how they did it.
Now ask them to give you equivalent fractions to, for example, 21 , 51 and 72.
Next, invite the class to give you the answer to 21 32. You could remind them that
this is the same as 21 of 32. Ask them how they worked it out. Hopefully, their
answers will cover different methods, such as: knowing that 21 of 32 is 31;
multiplying the numerators together and then the denominators to obtain
62 which is cancelled down to 31; and cancelling the 2s first to obtain 11 31 and
then 31.
Now write 92 43 on the board. Tell the class that the answer they give must be in
simplest form.
This activity can be repeated for different fractions. Hopefully, the class will
recognise that it is easier and more efficient to simplify the fractions before doing
the multiplication.

Explain that the aim of this lesson is to look at probability questions: in
particular, to solve problems which involve two or more events, using different
methods. The class will also be working with fractions and may wish to refer to
chapter 2 to remind themselves of the various methods for simplifying fractions.
Start by explaining the meaning of the word independent. You could ask the
class to write down a definition. For example: Two events are independent if the
outcome of one is not affected by the outcome of the other.
Draw a blank sample space diagram on the board for two events, such as rolling
a fair dice and throwing a fair coin.

LESSON Framework objectives Estimates of probability

Estimate probabilities from experimental data.
2.2
9.4 Understand relative frequency as an estimate of probability and use this to compare
outcomes of experiments.

Tell the class that in a test someone scored 7 out of 10. Ask a student to give you the score as a fraction of 10.
Ask another student to give you this score as a decimal.
9, 10
Repeat this for other simple scores, leading to, for example, 10 4, 100
24
32
and 50
.
Gradually increase the level of difficulty up to scores which will need rounding: for example, 20 out of 30.
Encourage the students to round to two decimal places.
7 of 100, 52 of 20.
Finally, ask them to work out mentally simple fractions of quantities: for example, 10

The aim is to recall the work on experimental probability, to introduce the term relative frequency and to move
on to expectation.
Ask the class to consider a coin which is tossed ten times and lands on Heads nine times. Ask them whether the
coin is biased. They will probably say that it is.
Now suggest that when the coin is tossed a further ten times, it landed on Heads only once. Ask the class
whether they still think that it is biased. They will probably say that you cannot tell.
Ask the class how they could improve the experiment. Hopefully, they will tell you to carry out more trials.
Tell them that relative frequency is about carrying out repeated trials and obtaining estimates of probability
from experimental data.
Write down on the board the formula:
Number of successful trials
Relative frequency =
Total number of trials
Emphasise that the greater the number of trials, the closer the estimates of probability get to the theoretical
probability.
Draw a graph showing relative frequency against number of trials on the board and show the class how to
record the results. Use the coin example, plotting at 10 trials, 20 trials and so on. Point out to the class that a
relative frequency graph will usually approach a value and that this value is the best estimate of the probability.
Ask the class why it is not valid to use the graph to read off at say, 15 trials. Hopefully they will realise that that
data between 10 and 20 trials may not follow the steady trend line.
Now say to the class that an experiment has been carried out many times and you believe that the estimate is
70
reliable. For example, the coin landed on Heads 70 times out of 100, so the relative frequency is 100 . Ask them
how many times they would expect this coin to land on Heads were it tossed 200 times. Stress that you are
using the estimate of probability and not the theoretical probability.
Then tell them that the expected number of successes can be calculated using the formula:
Expected number of successes = Relative frequency Number of trials

CHAPTER
LESSON Framework objectives Fractional enlargements
Know that if two 2-D shapes are similar, corresponding angles are equal and
10.1 corresponding sides are in the same ratio.
Enlarge 2-D shapes, given a fractional scale factor; recognise the similarity of the
resulting shapes; understand the implications of enlargement for area and volume.

Imagine a cube which has an edge length of 2 cm. What is the volume of the
cube? (Answer: 8 cm3)
Now imagine the cube is twice as big. What is its volume now?
(Answer: 64 cm3)
Make sure that the students appreciate that twice as big means that the edges of
the cube are multiplied by two.
This starter can be extended by asking the class to make the original cube three
times or four times larger and allowing them to work out their answers on paper.

Remind the class about enlargement, which was covered in Year 8.
It may be necessary to revise enlargement, using the ray A
method, by drawing on the board the diagram shown A Image
on the right, or show a prepared OHT. Object
State that the object triangle ABC has been enlarged by O C
a scale factor of 2 about the centre of enlargement, O, B C
to give the image triangle ABC. The dashed lines are B
called the rays or guidelines for the enlargement. The
object and image are on the same side of O. The scale
factor is positive. This is called positive enlargement. A
Next, explain to the class that there is fractional enlargement. A
Draw on the board the diagram shown on the right, Image Object
or show a prepared OHT. O B B
Explain that each side of ABC is half the
length of the corresponding side of ABC. C
C
1 1 1
Also that OA = 2 of OA, OB = 2 of OB and OC = 2 of OC.

That is, ABC has been enlarged by a scale factor of 12 about the centre of
enlargement, O, to give the image ABC. The object and the image are on the
same side of O, with the image smaller than the object. The scale factor is a
fraction. This is called fractional enlargement.
Point out that, under any enlargement, corresponding angles on the object and
image remain the same.
Now demonstrate fractional enlargement on a grid. Explain that the grid may or
may not have coordinate axes x and y.
Show the class how the image points can be easily found by counting grid units
in the vertical and horizontal directions. This can be an alternative to drawing
rays.
When there are coordinate axes, the centre of enlargement is sometimes given
as the origin (0, 0). The coordinates of the image shape are then the coordinates
of the object shape multiplied by the fractional scale factor.

Ask individual students to cross out the pairs of ratios that are identical.
The last student asked should then simplify the remaining ratio.

NB You may wish to use more than one lesson to cover the material in this lesson plan and the associated
pupil book.
Explain to the class that the next few lessons will be about an important branch of Mathematics called
Trigonometry which is used to calculate the lengths of sides and the size of angles in right-angled triangles. Its
main use is in areas of engineering, navigation and surveying.
Draw the right-angled triangle on the right on the board.
Explain the following terms for the right-angled triangle ABC:
The side opposite the right angle is always the longest side Hypotenuse (H)
and is known as the hypotenuse (H) Opposite side (O)
The side opposite the angle in question (labelled ) is called the
opposite side (O) Adjacent side (A)
The side next to the angle in question is called the adjacent side (A)
Draw another triangle on the board with A labelled . Ask the students to point out the opposite and adjacent
sides.
Introduce the investigation on page 171 of Pupil Book 3. It will be useful if students can work in pairs or small
groups, as some discussion is helpful.
Summarise what the investigation has shown by explaining that this value is called the tangent of angle A, and
is shortened to tanA.
Tell the students that the value of the tangent of any angle is stored in their calculators.
Show the students how to find the tangent of angles using their calculators. Some students may need individual
help as different models have different key sequences. The pupil book shows some of the more common
sequences. Work through some examples with the students to ensure that they have all mastered using their
calculators for this.
Opposite H
Using a diagram similar to the one shown here, explain that the formula tan = O

use the inverse tan function on their calculators. Ensure that all of the students know how to do this and work
through some examples, such as: find the value of when tan = 0.6.

Ask the class to write down in their books or on their whiteboards the three H
trigonometric ratios for the angle . O
Check their answers.
A

Explain to the class that the lesson is about solving problems using trigonometry.
Go through the following stages which should be taken when solving a problem
involving trigonometry:
1. Draw a sketch of the right-angled triangle in the problem. Tell the students
that even when a diagram or picture accompanies the problem, it is a good
idea to redraw the triangle.
2. Mark on the sketch all the known sides and angles, including the units.
3. Identify the unknown side or angle by labelling it x or .
4. Decide and write down which ratio you need to use to solve the problem. At
this point you may wish to introduce some mnemonics which the students
can use to help them remember the three ratios.
5. Solve the problem and give your answer to a suitable degree of accuracy.
This is usually three significant figures for lengths and one decimal place for
angles.
Demonstrate how to follow these stages by working through an example, such
as the one given below.
Example A window cleaner has a ladder that is 6 m long. He leans it against
a wall so that the foot of the ladder is 2 m from the wall. Calculate
the angle the ladder makes with the wall.

rectangle. The correct answer (15x + 10) will be seen by some students more easily than others.
Show how this rectangle can be split up, using the 3x and the 2 to give two rectangles one with the
dimensions 3x and 5, and the other with the dimensions 2 and 5. This should help all the students see that they
need to find the area of each smaller rectangle and add them together to give the total area (15x + 10).
Show that the last example is the same as 5(3x + 2) and link this to the finding of the area using two rectangles.
Show that the brackets are expanded by multiplying each term by 5 to arrive at 15x + 10.
Now draw on the board a rectangle with the dimensions 4x + 3 and 2x. Again, ask the class for the area of the
rectangle. Lead the students through the splitting of the rectangle to give two rectangles one with the
dimensions 4x and 2x and the other with the dimensions 3 and 2x. These can then be multiplied to find the
area of each rectangle and added together to give the total area 8x2 + 6x. Again, show the link to the expansion
of the bracket 2x(4x + 3).
Now put on the board the expression 3(4x + 2) and ask the class what this might mean. You want the response:
The area of a rectangle with dimensions 3 and 4x + 2. You also want them to refer to the expansion of the
bracket to give 12x + 6.
Repeat the process for x(3x + 2) to give 3x2 + 2x.
Put on the board the expression 3(4x 1) and ask the class what this might represent. One answer is a rectangle
with sides 4x 1 and 3. Show how, if this is split into two rectangles, the larger one has the dimensions 4x by 3
with the smaller one, the dimensions 1 and 3, taken from it.
Show that the expansion of 3(4x 1) can be done in the same way as before to give 12x 3.

A formula for the approximate conversion of temperatures from degrees
Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius is C = 12 (F 32), where C is the temperature in
degrees Celsius and F is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.
Ask the class to use this formula to estimate the equivalent of 100 Fahrenheit in

this mentally.
Work through a couple more examples, such as:

Put on the board a rectangle with 7 cm2 written inside the outline. Ask the class
what dimensions the rectangle could have. The simplest answer is 1 cm by
7 cm. Explain that coming up with these numbers involves finding a pair of
factors.
Now put on the board a rectangle with the area 12 cm2 written inside. Again,
ask the class what dimensions the rectangle could have. There is more than one
simple choice here, and any factor pair will do (for example, 2 cm by 6 cm,
3 cm by 4 cm).
Now put on the board a rectangle with the expression 3x + 3 written inside. Tell
the class that this is the area of the rectangle and ask what dimensions the
rectangle could have. Lead the discussion so that the class reaches the correct
answer of 3 and x + 1.
In order to reach the answer above, a pair of factors has to be found which,
when multiplied together, give 3x + 3. Explain that this is called factorisation
and is the opposite process of expansion, which they covered in the previous
lesson.
Next, put on the board the expression 6x + 9. Invite them to imagine that this is
the area of a rectangle. Ask them what the dimensions of the rectangle could be.
They need to factorise the expression to create a bracket with two factors inside
and a term outside. For this example, factorisation gives 3(2x + 3). Show that this
expands to give 6x + 9.
Now put on the board the expression x2 + 5x and again ask what dimensions a
rectangle of this area could have. Help the class to see that this factorisation will
be x(x + 5), again showing that the expansion will give the original expression.

11.3 form (x n) and simplify the corresponding quadratic expression.

This starter is concerned with calculating percentages.
Set percentages in context by talking about getting a 20% reduction on the price
of a certain item you purchased recently.
Ask the class how they would calculate 20% of a value? They might use the
strategy of finding the value of 10% then doubling it, or they might divide the
original value by 5.
Give them an example, such as: What is 20% of 34. Work through the
example, using the first method which most students will regard more
straightforward. That is, 10% of 34 is 3.40, doubling it gives 20% as 6.80.
Using a target board such as the one shown below, work your way around the
class, asking individual students to work out 20% of the given value.

Put on the board a rectangle with sides labelled as (x + 2) and (x + 4). Ask the
class if they know what the area of the rectangle is.
This should lead to a discussion on splitting the rectangle up into 4 parts, with
areas of x2, 4x, 2x and 8. Add these up to get x2 + 6x + 8, which is the area of the
original rectangle.
Next, put on the board the pair of brackets (x + 5)(x + 3). Ask the class if anyone
can expand, or multiply out this pair of brackets. Let the discussion flow from
the geometric application of finding the area of a rectangle to a possible way of
multiplying out the brackets term by term.
Show both methods. Tell the students they must use whichever method they find
simpler for them. Ultimately, they will be expected to multiply out brackets with
no props at all.
Then, put on the board a pair of brackets with a negative sign involved: for
example (x + 6)(x 2). Show the class that the easiest way to do this is to
multiply term by term, to get x2 2x + 6x 12, which simplifies to x2 + 4x 12.
Finally, put on the board (x 4)2. Ask if anyone can square this bracket. Look out
for the response of x2 + 16, which is the most common incorrect answer.
Demonstrate this expansion, which is (x 4)(x 4), giving x2 8x + 16.

Ask the class: Who sends text messages to their friends?. Ask several of the
students who do, how much they cost.
Put on the board the different rates for text messages. At the time of printing,
these are generally 8p, 10p or 12p. But do use those which your students offer,
unless they only offer 10p!
Ask how many text messages each student sends per day. Using the price per
message that the student quoted earlier, work out how much students spend on
text messaging per day.
Ask other students how many messages they send per week. Again, using the
price per message, work out how much various students spend on text
messaging per week.
Talk about top up cards costing 10, 15 or 20. How many text messages can
the students send from one top up at the different values?
This is a rich source of mental work that goes best when real live data is being
used: that is, current charges. Try not to be exclusive. If there are some students
not able to text, ensure that they are included in the discussions.
This can be expanded into estimating how many text messages each student
might make in a year and therefore how much this will cost.

Put on the board the expression x2 + 8x + 12. Ask the class if they can simplify
this expression. Lead the discussion to factorising with a pair of brackets.
The x2 indicates that each bracket must start with two single xs, and the pair of
brackets will be in the form (x + a)(x + b).
Talk about the last plus sign in the expression, which indicates that the signs in
the brackets will be the same, and the same as the first sign in the expression.
Hence, the two signs in the pair of brackets will be pluses.
Ask what information the 12 gives. Help the class to see that this represents the
product of a and b. Hence, a factor pair of 12 is required: 1, 12 or 2, 6 or 3, 4.
Ask what information the 8x gives. Help the class to see that this shows that
a + b must be 8. So, a factor pair which adds up to 8 is required. This leads to
the conclusion that a and b are 2 and 6 respectively. (They can be either way
round.) Hence, the factorisation is: (x + 2)(x + 6).
Go briefly through the expansion to show that this does indeed give
x2 + 8x + 12.
Now put on the board the expression x2 8x + 16 and ask the class to factorise it.
Discuss the fact that because the second sign of the expression is a plus, the
signs will be the same, and the same as the first sign in the expression, which is
a minus. Hence, the brackets will be of the form (x a)(x b).
This means that a factor pair of 16 is required which adds up to 8, leading to
(x 4)(x 4) or (x 4)2.
Next, put on the board the expression x2 3x 10, and lead the class into a
discussion on the factorisation of this expression.
As the second sign of the expression is a minus, the two signs in the brackets
must be different. The first sign of the expression is negative, which indicates
that the larger of the factor pair must also be negative.
This means that as the signs are different, the factor pair of 10 must have a
difference of 3, which leads to 5 and 2. Hence, the factorisation is (x + 2)(x 5).

Ask the students to put up their hands if they can multiply by 11. Many hands will go up.
Tell them to keep their hands up if they can work out 11 28 in their heads. Discuss the different strategies the

One strategy is to do it in two parts and add the results together:
11 28 = (10 28) + (1 28) = 280 + 28 = 308.
Go through another example using this method with them:
11 34 = (10 34) + (1 34) = 340 + 34 = 374.

This lesson is about changing the subject of a formula. Put on the board the formula C = 250 + 5W. Explain that
this formula is used to calculate the cost of advertisements in a certain newspaper, where C is the cost in pence
of the advertisement and W is the number of words in the advertisement. Explain that C is the subject of the
formula because it is the variable (letter) in the formula which stands on its own, usually on the left-hand side
of the equals sign.
Ask how much it would cost to place an advertisement with 20 words in the newspaper. Use this example to
verify that all the students can substitute W = 20 into the formula to get C = 250 + 5 20 = 250 + 100 = 350,
giving the cost as 3.50.
Now tell the class that you want to place an advertisement in the newspaper, on which you want to spend 10.
Ask them how many words you would use in the advertisement.
In order to work this out, they need to rearrange the formula so that W is the subject. Remind the class that the
same rules apply which they have used previously with equations. That is, the same thing is done to both sides
of the formula.
Work through the example. To get W on its own, start by simplifying the right-hand side of the formula:
C = 250 + 5W
Subtracting 250 from both sides gives: C 250 = 5W
C 250
Dividing both sides by 5 gives: = W
5
C 250
Turning the expression round gives: W =
5
1000 250
So, if C = 1000, then: W = = 150.

CHAPTER
13 Handling Data 3
LESSON Framework objectives Revision of statistical techniques
Discuss how data relate to a problem; identify possible sources, including primary
13.1 and secondary sources.
Find summary values that represent the raw data, and select the statistics most
appropriate to the problem.

The class should work in small groups for this activity.
Explain to the class that the lesson will be used to revise handling data topics that they have already covered, in preparation
for an investigation next lesson. Tell the class that this activity is called The AtoZ of handling data.
Ask each group to think of as many handling data topics and words beginning with different letters of the alphabet as they
can, excluding those to do with probability. You may wish to ask for a few suggestions and write them on the board, such as
average, bias, data, graph, etc.
Ask the groups to write down an example for each word they come up with. For example: the average of 2 and 4 is 3.
Give the groups a few minutes to discuss their answers, then ask the groups to give you the topics to write on the board,
covering the meaning of each one.

Continuing from the oral and mental starter, ask the students to give you responses to the following types of questions.
1 What sort of things should you think about when 7 What is a frequency table?
planning a question and response section for a 8 Name as many different types of frequency diagrams
questionnaire? as you can.
2 What is a census? 9 What is a stemandleaf diagram?
3 Name some ways of recording data. 10 How do you work out a mode, a median, a mean and a
4 What is the difference between primary and range for a set of data?
secondary data? 11 How do you estimate the median and interquartile range
5 How can you choose a random sample from a group from a cumulative frequency graph (for large sets of
of people? data).
6 What is a two-way table? 12 How do you estimate the mean for a table of grouped data.
You should look for answers which refer to the following.
1 Avoid: leading questions; missing or overlapping responses; any form of bias.
2 A census is a survey of a whole population.
3 Tally chart, data collection sheet or observation sheet.
4 Primary data is data obtained directly by the person carrying out the research whereas secondary data has already been
collected by someone else.
5 A random sample of a group could be obtained by putting everyones name in a bag, then drawing a portion of the
names out.
6 A two-way table records two sets of related information within one table, for example make of car and colour of car.
7 A frequency table is a table showing the number of times (frequency) that each particular value or item is recorded in a
survey or experiment.
8 Pictogram, bar chart, pie chart, line graph, frequency polygon, histogram.
9 A stemandleaf diagram is an ordered set of numerical data, grouped to show how the data is distributed. It is in effect
a bar chart using a list of numerical data.
10 The mode is the most common value; the median is the middle value of an ordered set of data; the mean is the total of
all the values divided by the number of items of data; the range is the difference between the largest and smallest values.
n n 3n
11 The median, lower and upper quartiles are obtained by reading off at , , , where n is the total
2 4 4
frequency. The interquartile range is the difference between the upper and lower quartile values.
12 The estimate of the mean is calculated by multiplying the mid-class values by the frequency for that class, summing up
these answers and dividing by the total frequency.
Ask the class to look through the table of vocabulary in the Pupil Book, to make sure they are familiar with the terms there.

Explain to the class that it is important to be able to draw appropriate statistical diagrams
and calculate statistics such as averages, but that it is equally important to be able to
scatter graph
interpret them, commenting on how useful they are. cumulative
Ask the class if it is appropriate to use a pie chart to represent 20 categories of data [with frequency
so many categories, a bar chart might be easier to interpret], or ask the class if it is
sensible to use a scatter graph for 5 pairs of data [there are probably not enough data to lower quartile
produce a meaningful graph]. upper quartile
Briefly refer to the mode, median and mean and explain the effect of an extreme value on
the mean. Use the phrase, it would be inappropriate to use the mean as one value has
interquartile
distorted the data. For example, the data 50, 50, 50, 50, 100 give a mean of 50 when the range
100 is excluded, but a mean of 60 when the 100 is included.

LESSON Framework objectives A handling data project

13.2 representation to progress an enquiry.
Interpret graphs and diagrams and draw inferences to support or cast doubt on
initial conjectures; have a basic understanding of correlation.
Communicate interpretations and results of a statistical enquiry using selected
tables, graphs and diagrams in support, using ICT as appropriate.
Solve substantial problems by breaking them into simpler tasks, using a range of
efficient techniques, methods and resources, including ICT.
Identify possible sources of bias and plan how to minimise it.
Identify what extra information may be required to pursue a further line of enquiry.
Analyse data to find patterns and exceptions, look for cause and effect and try to
explain anomalies.
Examine critically the results of a statistical enquiry, and justify choice of statistical
representation in written presentations, recognising the limitations of any
assumptions and their effect on conclusions drawn.

Write on the board, A solo pop singer is more likely to be female than male, but a singer in a band is more
likely to be male than female.
Ask the class how they could investigate this.
Answers which they might say or be prompted to say could include:
Make a list of known singers and bands
Do a survey using the pop charts
You could discuss the fact that the chart data will only look at the most successful singers and therefore may
give a biased result. You could then suggest that the initial hypothesis needs to say that it refers to the most
successful singers.

The activities given in this section could easily take two lessons, depending on the amount of detail asked for
when carrying out the investigation. You may wish to ask the students to collect certain data prior to the lesson,
or you may decide to provide the students with secondary data.
Continuing from the oral and mental starter, show the class the handling data cycle and the related checklist for
completing a handling data investigation, on p. 218 of Pupil Book 3. The list is also reproduced opposite.
Go through and consider how each point applies to the pop singers example from the oral and mental starter:
[Statement of topic] Compare number of male singers and female singers in the charts.
[Hypothesis] In the charts, a solo singer is more likely to be female than male, but a singer in a band is
more likely to be male than female.
[Sample size] Look at, say, the top 50.
[Foreseen problems] Charts will change from week to week may need to use charts over several weeks.
[Identify any sources of bias and plan how to minimise them] A chart may only look at one type of music,
so consider different types of chart.
[How to obtain data] Use pop charts from different sources (this information could be obtained from the
Internet).
[Identify what extra information may be required] Ask yourself the question, How can I extend this
problem, using more complex techniques which will provide more reliable results?
[Data collection sheet] Record the number of bands and the number of solo artists, record the number of
males and females in each case.
[Analysis] Calculate average numbers per week. Represent in percentage bars or pie charts.
[Factors affecting results] Songs stay in the charts for several weeks, so the weeks looked at should really be
far apart in the year, rather than consecutive.
[Limitations of any assumptions made] The mean number of weeks may be distorted by an extreme value
(one singer may be in the charts for a relatively long time).
[Conclusion] State whether you agree with initial hypothesis based on your results.
The class can now do one of the investigations in Exercise 13B from Pupil Book 3, working in small groups.

Suggest extensions to problems, conjecture and generalise: identify exceptional
cases or counter-examples, explaining why.
14.3
Ask individual students to give the formulae for the perimeter, the area or the volume of various 2-D and 3-D
shapes.

Each investigation given in this section will take up to two lessons to complete.
The class can work in pairs or small groups. The whole class may undertake the same investigation, or pairs or
groups may choose their own investigation from the four given.
Before the investigations are started, briefly go through the methods of doing an investigation:
Draw some easy examples first, making all diagrams clear with all measurements shown.
Put your results in a table with suitable headings.
Look for any patterns among the entries in the table.
Describe and explain any patterns which you spot.
Try to find a rule or formula to explain each pattern.
Try another example to see whether your rule or formula does work.
Summarise your results with a conclusion.
If possible, extend the investigation by introducing different questions.
Note: the students may need centimetre-squared paper.
The layout below for each investigation is minimal. The students should always explain their choice of presentation and
link all their diagrams with the text. They may use different approaches to the investigations and these should be noted. The
use of algebra would also enhance the students work and should be encouraged wherever possible. All the investigations
are helpful to the preparation for the GCSE coursework assessment.
1 It is expected that the students will draw a sequence of
Size of square 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5
squares and complete a table similar to the one on the right.
Note that units are not necessary for this investigation. Perimeter (P) 4 8 12 16 20
From the table, the students will notice that the 4 4 square Area (A) 1 4 9 16 25
has the same value for its perimeter and area. They should see
that this is the only solution, by noticing that, after the 4 4 square, the area is always greater than the perimeter. They
should then check this using another example. (It could also be shown by drawing a graph.)
Some students may be able to show that this is the only solution by using an algebraic approach.
For a square of side l, P = 4l and A = l 2.
l For the square to have the same value for P and A, 4l = l 2.
This is true only for l = 0 or l = 4. Clearly, l = 0 has no meaning, so l = 4 is the only solution.
l To extend the investigation, the students could consider rectangles.
By drawing a number of rectangles, they should find that the value of the perimeter equals the
value of the area when l = 6 and w = 3.
They may think that this is the only solution, but intuition may tell them that other solutions
may exist. For completeness, this can be shown by an algebraic approach:
w
For a rectangle of length l and width w, P = 2l + 2w and A = lw.
For the rectangle to have the same value for P and A, 2l + 2w = lw, which gives:
l lw 2w = 2l
w( l 2) = 2l
2l
w =
l2
This shows that there are an infinite number of solutions. For example, when l = 10, w = 2.5. Other solutions can now
be found.
Considering circles would also extend the investigation.

9B3LP_14.qxd 18/09/2003 15:22 Page 167
Exercise 14B (contd)
2 The students should start by completing a table of results to Size of square l P A l:P l:A
show the length (l), perimeter (P) and area (A) of the squares.
11 1 4 1 1:4 1:1
They can then find the ratios l : P and l : A.
22 2 8 4 1:4 1:2
From the table, the students can see that the ratio l : P is
always 1 : 4 and the ratio l : A is 1 : n, where n is the length of 3 3 3 12 9 1:4 1:3
the side of the square. They should now test their rules on new data.
They may be able to generalise: for a square of size n n, l : P = 1 : 4 and l : A = 1 : n.
The investigation could be extended by looking at cubes and considering the ratio of the length of a side to the surface
area and the ratio of the length of a side to the volume.
3 The students should start by considering squares of different sizes. They will realise that it will be easier to use even
numbers for the side of the square. They should then present their results in a table, as shown below, giving their final
answers to a suitable degree of accuracy. (One decimal place is suggested.)
Size of square Area of square Area of coin Area of coin as % % waste
of area of square
2 cm 2 cm 4 cm2 3.14 cm2 78.5% 21.5%
4 cm 4 cm 16 cm2 12.57 cm2 78.5% 21.5%
6 cm 6 cm 36 cm2 28.27 cm2 78.5% 21.5%
The students should now see that the percentage waste is always 21.5% for squares of any size. A further example
would show this.
An algebraic approach could also be used. For a square of side 2r, the area of the square is 4r2 and the area of the coin
is r2.
The area of the coin as a percentage of the area of the square is:
r2
100 = 100 = 78.5
4r2 4
So, the percentage waste is 21.5%.
The investigation could be extended to four coins stamped from a square or by considering rectangular sheets of metal.
4 a For a 6 2 table, there are two bounces.
b For a 6 2 table, the ball goes down pocket C.
c After drawing different sized tables, including square tables, the students Size of table Number of Pocket
should complete a table to show their results. The table on the right shows bounces
some results for 17 different tables, with the ball always starting from 11 0 C
pocket A. 22 0 C
From the table, the students should be able to spot various patterns. For 33 0 C
example: a square table has no bounces and the ball ends up in pocket C;
when the length and width of the table are reversed, the number of 21 1 B
31 2 C
bounces is the same but the ball may not end up in the same pocket. 41 3 B
The following is a summary.
For a table of length l and width w, write it as the ratio l : w. 32 3 D
When l : w cannot be simplified, the number of bounces, N, is given by 42 1 B
the formula: 52 5 D
N=l+w2 62 2 C
When l : w can be simplified to give the ratio a : b, the number of 43 5 B
bounces, N, is given by the formula: 53 6 C
N=a+b2 63 1 B
When l and w (or a and b if simplified) are both odd, the ball ends up in
pocket C. 23 3 B
When only l is odd (or a if simplified), the ball ends up in pocket D. 34 5 D
If only l is even (or a if simplified), the ball ends up in pocket B. 35 6 C
36 1 D
The students may write down these conditions, but in all cases they
should test their rules or formulae on further examples.

14.6
Ask individual students to explain reflection symmetry, rotational symmetry and planes of symmetry.

Each investigation given in this section will probably take two lessons.
The class can work in pairs or groups and the class can all work on the same investigation or be allowed to
make their own choice from the four investigations given.
Before the class start the investigation, briefly go through the methods of doing an investigation:
Draw some easy examples first, showing any lines of symmetry and/or stating the order of rotational
symmetry on the diagrams.
Explain anything you notice from the diagrams.
Describe and explain any patterns which you spot.
Summarise your results with a conclusion.
If possible, extend the investigation by introducing different questions.
Note: the students may need tracing paper, mirrors, centimetre-squared paper and a selection of 3-D solids.
The layout below for each investigation is minimal. The students should always explain their choice of presentation and
link all their diagrams with the text. They may use different approaches to the investigations and these should be noted. The
use of algebra would also enhance the students work and should be encouraged wherever possible. All the investigations
are helpful to the preparation for the GCSE coursework assessment.
1 It is expected that the students will draw diagrams to show the number of lines of symmetry for a tile with different
numbers of shaded squares. Examples are shown below. (Reflections and rotations are omitted.)
One square
1 line of symmetry 4 lines of symmetry

Two squares

Three squares

Four squares
1 line of symmetry
4 lines of symmetry
The students should now notice that for five shaded squares, the diagrams are the same as for four squares but with the
shading reversed. Similarly for six, seven and eight squares. This could now be usefully summarised in a table.
The investigation could be extended by using a different size of tile.

9B3LP_14.qxd 18/09/2003 15:22 Page 171
Exercise 14D (contd)
2 There are 12 different pentominoes (excluding mirror images). The students should be encouraged to show their results
in a table.

Order of rotational symmetry 4 2 1 1 1 1
Pentomino
Number of lines of symmetry 0 0 0 0 0 0

Order of rotational symmetry 2 1 1 1 1 1
For students who extend the investigation, there are 35 different hexominoes.
3 Allowing rotations, the T-shape will fit in the 3 3 grid four times.
The students should now draw square grids of different sizes and find the number of ways in which the T-shape fits
inside each grid. The table below shows the number of ways for three different square grids.
Size of grid 33 44 55
Number of ways 4 16 36
The students should now be able to spot the rule: the numbers of ways give the even square numbers. They should test
another example to confirm that the rule works.
The students may also be able to use algebra in this investigation and arrive at a formula.
For an n n grid, the total number of ways, T, the T-shape will fit inside the grid is given by:
T = 4(n 2)2 for n > 2
To extend the investigation, the students could consider rectangular grids or use a different shape.
4 For this investigation, it is useful for the students to have access to a collection of different solids. The table below is
not exhaustive.

LESSON Framework objectives Revision of probability
Use the vocabulary of probability in interpreting results involving uncertainty and
15.1 prediction.
Identify all the mutually exclusive outcomes of an experiment; know that the sum
of probabilities of all mutually exclusive outcomes is 1 and use this when solving
problems.
Estimate probabilities from experimental data.
Compare experimental and theoretical probabilities in a range of contexts;
appreciate the difference between mathematical explanation and experimental
evidence.
Understand relative frequency as an estimate of probability and use this to compare

Explain to the class that the lesson will be used to revise the probability topics they have already covered, in preparation for
an investigation next lesson.
Ask the class a few simple probabilities. Ask the students to explain how they have worked each answer out. Some
examples are given below.
rolling a 6 on a fair, six-sided dice picking a blue cube when there are 3 blue, 4 red
rolling a 3 or a 4 on a fair, six-sided dice and 3 green cubes in a bag
rolling an odd number on a fair, six-sided dice not picking a blue cube in the above example
throwing a head on a fair coin it not raining, if the probability of rain is 43

Continuing from the oral and mental starter, ask the students to give you responses to the following types of questions.
1 A box contains 60 sweets, of which 10 are strawberry.
a What is the probability of picking a strawberry sweet?
b What is the probability of picking a sweet that is not strawberry?
c A second box of sweets of the same make contains 300 sweets, how many would you expect to be strawberry?
2 A six-sided dice is rolled and lands on 6 four times out of 24 rolls. Do you think that the dice is fair? Give a reason.
3 Two coins are thrown. How many different outcomes are there?
4 What is the difference between theoretical and experimental probability?
5 What could you do to test if a spinner is biased? 8 What are exhaustive events?
6 What are independent events? 9 When do you use a tree diagram?
7 What are mutually exclusive events? 10 What is relative frequency?
You should look for answers which refer to the following.

2 It appears biased as 6 out of 24 is 41 . If fair you would expect it to be close to 16 .
3 Four, HH, HT, TH, TT
4 Theoretical probability looks at equally likely outcomes whereas experimental probability is based on the results of an
experiment or number of trials.
5 Roll it many times and compare the results to see if the experimental probabilities are close to the theoretical
probabilities based on the assumption that the spinner is fair.
6 Independent events are events where the outcome of one event is not affected by the outcome of the other event and
vice versa.
7 Mutually exclusive events are events that cannot happen at the same time.
8 Exhaustive events are events that cover every possible outcome.
9 A tree diagram is used to help calculate combined probabilities for more than one event.
10 Relative frequency is an estimate of probability based on experimental data.

Write on the board, Teenagers are better at probability than adults.
Ask the class how they could investigate this.
Students might suggest writing a set of probability questions to be given to both
teenagers and adults. They could then record the results for their samples and
compare the experimental probabilities of answering particular questions
correctly for teenagers and adults.
You could discuss how they would decide which people to use in the sample.

The activities given in this section could easily take two lessons, depending on
the amount of detail asked for when carrying out the investigation. You may
wish to ask the students to collect certain data prior to the lesson or you may
decide to provide the students with secondary data.
Continuing from the oral and mental starter, show the class the handling data
cycle and the related checklist for completing a probability investigation, on
pp. 232233 of Pupil Book 3. The list is also reproduced opposite.
Go through and consider how each point applies to the example from the oral
and mental starter:
[Statement of topic] Compare the abilities of teenagers and adults at
probability.
[Hypothesis] Teenagers are better at working out theoretical probabilities
than adults.
[Sample size] Look at 30 teenagers and 30 adults. It would not be sensible to
use students in your class who have just revised probability. You may even
want to test a different area of mathematics if using your fellow students as a
sample.
[Foreseen problems] Adults may be reluctant to answer the questions given.
Choosing the sample may be difficult.
[Identify any sources of bias and plan how to minimise them] Avoid using
all one age group for adults.
[Data collection] Record the number of correct and incorrect answers, the
number of people who declined to do the questions and any other factors
which may affect your results.
[Identify what extra information may be required] Ask yourself the question,
How can I extend this problem, using more complex techniques which will
provide more reliable results?
[Analysis] Produce statistical diagrams to compare the success rates of
teenagers and adults, and calculate the experimental probability of each
answering a probability question correctly.
[Limitations of any assumptions made] Children may have had a more
recent experience than adults of work on probability, whereas adults may
quickly understand the topic, if they were given a short briefing.
[Conclusion] State whether you agree with the initial hypothesis based on
your results.
The class can now do Exercise 15B from Pupil Book 3, working in small groups.

LESSON Framework objectives Reinforcement of Number
Solving quadratic equations.
16.1

Ask students to mentally solve x 1 = 0. They should find that x = 1 quickly
(answers can be written on mini white boards).
Repeat with x + 4 = 0 (4), x 3 = 0 (3), x + 3 = 0 (3).
Now ask students to give two values for a and b that solve a b = 0. Ask
students to write their answers down on mini white boards as a = ? and b = ?.
Check answers. Some could be written on the board. Discuss the common
characteristics, which should be that either a or b should be zero in each case.
Now ask students to write down a value for x that will make (x 2)(x + 4) = 0.
Once again check answers. Hopefully they will be either x = 2 or x = 4.

This is a lesson on solving quadratics that factorise.
Ask students if they can find a value for x that solves the quadratic equation
x2 + 6x 7 = 0.
They may spot the answer x = 1, but are unlikely to spot the answer of x = 7.
Outline the method. First, factorise and then solve each bracket equal to zero.
i.e. x2 + 6x 7 = 0 (x 1)(x + 7) = 0.
So, either x 1 = 0 x = 1, or x + 7 = 0 x = 7.
Repeat with other examples such as:
x2 x 6 = 0 (x = 3 or 2), x2 + 4x + 3 = 0 (x = 1 or 3),
x2 8x + 15 = 0 (x = 3 or 5).
The class can now do Exercise 16A from Pupil Book 3 or Exercise 10K
(page 256) from the Higher Mathematics for GCSE textbook.

They should find 12 fairly quickly. unitary
Discuss ways that this could be solved mathematically. coefficient
The students may establish that the factorisation is (x 1)(2x 1) = 0 and that
these brackets solve to 1 and 12.
Do more examples with a non-unit coefficient of x2, if time allows, such as
2x2 5x + 3 = 0.
Homework
1 Solve these equations.

a (x + 3)(x 4) = 0 b (x 1)(x + 6) = 0 c (x 7)(x + 6) = 0
d (x + 5)(x + 2) = 0 e (x 3)(x + 6) = 0 f (x 9)(x 3) = 0

Factorisation of quadratics of the form ax2 + bx + c, where a > 1.
16.2
Give students the factors of 12 in pairs and the factors of 15 on each side of a
vertical line, i.e.
1 2 3 1 3
12 6 4 15 5
Ask the students to find a combination of products using one pair of factors from
each side that give a total of 28. This first exemplar may need to be
demonstrated i.e.
2 3 2 5 + 6 3 = 28.
6 5
Repeat with totals of 29(3 3 + 4 5), 27(3 5 + 4 3 or 1 15 + 12 1),
41(1 5 + 12 3).
Now ask for the total 8. Suggest to the students that negative values could be
used. The answer is
2 3 2 5 + 6 3 = 8.
6 5
Repeat with totals of 24(2 15 + 6 1), 3(3 5 + 4 3).
Do more examples if time available.

This is a lesson on factorising quadratics with a non-unit coefficient for x2.
Students have met the idea in previous plenaries, but a method for solution has
not been outlined.
Ask the students to factorise 2x2 + 9x + 4.
They may have an intuitive idea of the answer but they also need to have a
method outlined.
There are several methods, two of which are outlined in the Pupil Book.
Example: Find factors of the x2 coefficient and of the constant term.
For 2x2 + 9x + 4, the factors of 2 are 1 2 and the factors of 4 are 1 4.
Now find a combination that gives the coefficient of x, e.g.
1 1 11+24=9
2 4
The brackets are then the opposite to the pairs i.e. (x + 4)(2x + 1).
Example: Factorise 6x2 17x + 12.
The brackets must start (3x )(2x ) or (6x )(x ) and the constant term has
factors 3 4, 2 6, 1 12.
By trial and improvement we can find that the combination (3x 4)(2x 3) works.
The class can now do Exercise 16B from Pupil Book 3 or Exercise 10L

16.3
Ask students to mentally solve 2x 1 = 0. They should find that x = 12. Answers
can be written on mini white boards.
Repeat with 3x + 4 = 0 (113), 4x 3 = 0 ( 34 ), 2x + 3 = 0 (112 ), 5x 1 = 0 ( 15 ),
3x 2 = 0 ( 23 ).
Now ask students to write down a value for x that will make (3x 2)(4x + 1) = 0.
Once again check answers. They should be x = 23 or x = 14 .

This is a lesson on solving quadratic equations with non-unitary coefficients.
2x2 x 1 = 0.
They may spot the answer x = 1, but are unlikely to spot the answer of 12 .
Outline the method. First factorise and then solve each bracket equal to zero.
i.e. 2x2 x 1 = 0 (2x + 1)(x 1) = 0, so either x 1 = 0 x = 1 or
2x + 1 = 0 x = 12 .
Repeat with other examples such as 3x2 + 2x 1 = 0 (x = 13 or 1),
12x2 + 5x 2 = 0 ( x = 23 or 14 ), 8x2 14x 15 = 0 (x = 34 or 212 ).
Ask students to solve the quadratic equation x2 + x = 12.
This is not in the correct form to factorise and solve. Encourage students to
always rearrange quadratic equations into the form ax2 + bx + c = 0.
The equation above then becomes x2 + x 12 = 0, which can be factorised and
solved to give x =3 or 4.
Repeat with 2x(x 7) = 6 3x. This must be expanded and then collected into
the correct form.
2x2 14x = 6 3x 2x2 11x 6 = 0 (2x + 1)(x 6) = 0 x = 12 or 6.

and explain that a, b and c are the coefficients of x2, x and the constant term in
the general quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0.
Work through some examples but encourage students to follow some basic
principles:
Substitute values in brackets before attempting to work anything out.
Take particular care with: The change of sign of b.
Squaring b inside the root, particularly if it is negative
Working out 4 a c correctly particularly if c is negative.
Dividing the whole top line by 2a, not just the square root.
Example: Solve 2x2 + 3x 4 = 0.
First, identify a, b and c (a = 2, b = 3, c = 4.

Ask students to fill in the missing number in problems such as 22 9 = ?
(Answer 13).
Repeat with other examples such as 32 + 5 (answer 4), 42 1 (answer 17).
Make sure that students understand that 32 = (3 squared) and not (3) squared.
Repeat with more examples if necessary.

This is a lesson on completing the square.
Ask students to expand (x a)2 and (x + a)2.
Hopefully they will get the answer x2 2ax + a2 and x2 + 2ax + a2.
Now ask if they can fill in the missing numbers in x2 + 4x 3 = (x + )2 .
Eventually they will probably come up with the answer (x + 2)2 7.
Discuss how this relates to the identities established at the start of the lesson.
Work through the following examples on completing the square.
Example: Write x2 + 6x in the form (x + a)2 b.
The value, a, inside the bracket is half the coefficient of x. The value b is the
square of this, So, x2 + 6x = (x + 3)2 9.
Repeat with x2 + 12x ((x + 6)2 36), x2 4x ((x 2)2 4) and
x2 + 30x ((x + 15)2 225).
Example: Write x2 + 6x 7 in the form (x + a)2 b.
The value of a is half the coefficient of x. The value b is the sum of the existing
constant term and the square as before.
So, x2 + 6x 7 = (x + 3)2 9 7 = (x + 3)2 16.
Repeat with x2 + 12x + 15 ((x + 6)2 21), x2 4x 3 ((x 2)2 7) and
x2 + 30x + 100 ((x + 15)2 125).
Demonstrate how to solve equations using completing the square.
Example: Solve x2 + 6x 4 = 0.

x2 + 6x 4 = 0 (x + 3)2 13 = 0 (x + 3)2 = 13 x + 3 = 13

x = 3 13.

Repeat with x2 6x 2 = 0 (x = 3 11 ) and x2 + 10x + 15 = 0 (x = 5 10 ).

Difference of two squares.
16.6
Ask students to find the square root of 81.
They will obviously give the answer of 9, (answers can be written on mini white
boards) but may not give 9. Remind them that both answers are possible.
Now ask students for the square root of x2. They will, hopefully, give x as the
answer.
Now ask for the square root of 4x2. Some will give the answer 4x. Make sure
that they understand the answer is 2x.
Repeat with the square roots of 9y2, 16z2, 25x2, 81x2, 100y2 etc.

This is a lesson on factorising the quadratic the difference of two squares.
Start by asking students to expand expressions of the type (x + 2)(x 2) = (x2 4)
e.g. (x 4)(x + 4) = (x2 16), (2x 1)(2x + 1) = (4x2 1), (3x 6)(3x + 6) = (9x2 36) etc.
Eventually ask for the expansion of (a b)(a + b).
Discuss with students the similarities between the results.
Establish the result (a b)(a + b) = a2 b2.
Explain that this is known as the difference of two squares.
Now ask if students can reverse the result. i.e. can they factorise x2 36?
Explain that this can be written down as x2 62 = (x 6)(x + 6).
Emphasise that it is important to identify both squares since failure to do this can
lead to errors such as (x 36)(x + 36).
Repeat with x2 100 ((x 10)(x + 10)), 4x2 9 ((2x 3)(2x + 3)), 9x2 16y2

problem on the board, i.e. (x + 2)(x + 2) (x 4)(x 4) = (x2 + 4x + 4) squares
(x2 8x + 16) = x2 + 4x + 4 x2 + 8x 16 = 12x 12.
Now, ask if the original expression could be written in any other way. Some
students may recognise this as the difference of two squares.
Make sure that the students understand that the difference of two squares is an
identity, i.e. any values or expressions can be used for a and b in
a2 b2 = (a b)(a + b).
Using brackets (because of the minus signs), write the above as:

An investigation into y = ax2 + bx + c.
16.7
There is no starter as the investigation will need to be introduced via a class discussion.

The investigation in the Pupil Book is reproduced here. Students will need access to graphical calculators or
computers with a graph-drawing application package. The investigation will take more than one lesson.
The graph of a quadratic equation has a characteristic

shape called a parabola. y
Investigate the relationship between the values a, b and

c in the graph y = ax2 + bx + c and the points P, Q
(where the graph crosses the x-axis), the point R (where
the graph crosses the y-axis) and the point S (the vertex
or turning point of the graph).
y = ax2 + bx + c
You should use a graph plotting program or a graphical
calculator to help you.
You will not gain any credit for spending a lot of time
drawing graphs accurately.
P Q x
You will gain credit for a systematic investigation into
the effect of a, b and c on the graph.
R
S
Introduce the investigation and ask the students to suggest ideas for getting started.
For example, they could start by looking at graphs of y = x2, y = 2x2, y = 3x2 etc.
Then look at graphs of y = x2 + 1, y = x2 2, y = x2 + 3 etc.
Then look at graphs of y = x2 + 2x, x2 3x, x2 + 5x etc.
Once they have an idea of the effect of a, b and c individually they could then look at more general equations.
Students should be encouraged to look at the roots from the quadratic formula or the completing the square
method. The vertex also could be investigated via the completing the square method.

10% of 180 = 18 method as the example.
20% of 180 = 36 You will be given some credit for using a different correct
5% of 180 = 9 method such as the method shown in part (b):
25% of 180 is 50% of 180 is 90
36 + 9 = 45 25% of 180 = 45
(b) 2 For full marks you have Again this question is testing whether you can

50% of 460 = 230 follow the same method as the example.
25% of 460 = 115 You will be given some credit for using a different correct
method such as the method shown in part (a):
10% of 460 = 46
20% of 460 = 92
5% of 460 = 23
25% of 460 is 92 + 23 = 115

Question 3

(a) 2 21 packs This is long division. There are a couple of ways of doing
long division. The first is the traditional method:
2 0 r. 10
12) 2 5 0
2 4
1 0

1 0
As the remainder is fairly easy to work out you may have
done this as a short division.
2 0 r. 10
12) 2 5 1 0
Another method is the method of repeated subtraction:

2 5 0
10 12 = 1 2 0
1 3 0
10 12 = 1 2 0
1 0
The number of 12s in 250 is 20 remainder 10, which means
that the school will need 21 packs.
An answer of 21 gains 2 marks. If you make one mistake,
or say 20 packs, you will only gain 1 mark.
(b) 2 5500 p This is long multiplication.
1 55 There are several ways of doing this. One way is the grid
method.

An answer of 5500 gains 2 marks. If you make one

mistake you can still gain 1 mark.
To gain the last mark you need to convert your answer
from pence to pounds. This means dividing by 100. You can
still gain this mark for dividing by 100, even if your
calculation is wrong.
Total 5

Question 4

(a) 1 n+7 There are lots of rules about what you can and cannot do
with algebra. Another acceptable answer is 7 + n, but x + 7
is wrong. You cannot change letters. Neither can you
simplify expressions wrongly. So n + 7 = 7n would be
wrong but c = n + 7 would be allowed as it could be read
as number of cubes = n + 7. It is safer to write down the
expression without using equals signs and not to try to
simplify the answer unless the question says write your
answer as simply as possible or simplify your answer.
(b) 1 4m You can write multiplications such as m 4 and 4 m
either way around and they would be acceptable but do not
write m4 as this is not correct.
There are four cubes in each layer and m layers so the
answer is 4 m or 4m.
You can check your answer using numbers. Suppose the
number of cubes is 20 then m would be 5 as 5 4 = 20.
(c) 1 You should have this Each tower has the same number of cubes, so because
box ticked: there are 4 cubes in each layer in the second tower it only
n=m4 needs to be 14 of the height.
(d) 1 2 You now know that n = 4m and n = m + 6.
You can combine these by writing an equation m + 6 = 4m.
Subtracting m from each side gives 3m = 6 and dividing by
3 gives m = 2.
You could also answer this question by trying different
tower sizes. If m = 2 there will be 8 cubes in tower M, so
the other tower is 8 cubes high, which is 2 + 6 as required.

Question 5

(a) 2 59 1 goal was scored in 14 games = 14 goals
2 goals were scored in 8 games = 16 goals
14 + 16 + 21 + 8 = 59 goals altogether
(b) 2 Team B 20% of 50 games is 10 games.
You can work this out by saying 10% of 50 = 5 and
doubling it.
Team B scored 3 or more goals in 10 matches (5 + 2 + 3).
(c) 1 Any valid reason: Many different reasons could be acceptable such as;
It does not show how many games each team won;
It does not show how many goals were conceded;
Successful might mean different things to different people.

Question 6

3 A = Graph 4 Graph 1 shows a runner going at a steady speed as the
B = Graph 1 graph is a straight line.
C = Graph 2 Graph 2 covers distance very quickly at the beginning and
then less quickly at the end so this runner is getting slower.
Graph 3 covers distance very slowly at the beginning and
then more quickly at the end so this runner is getting faster.
Graph 4 covers distance very quickly at the beginning, then
less quickly in the middle and then more quickly at the end.
Graph 5 covers distance very slowly at the beginning, then
more quickly in the middle and then less quickly at the end.
You would gain 1 mark for each correct answer.

Question 7

3 LINE B y = 5 Lines that are drawn horizontally, parallel to the x-axis,
LINE C x = 5 are of the form y = a, where a is the value where the line
LINE D x + y = 5 crosses the y-axis.
Lines that are drawn vertically, parallel to the y-axis, are
of the form x = b, where b is the value where the line
crosses the x-axis.
Line B passes through the point 5 on the y-axis and so
has the equation y = 5. You would gain no marks if you
wrote y is 5.
Line C passes through the point 5 on the x-axis and so
has the equation x = 5. You would gain no marks if you
wrote x is 5.
Line D passes through points where the coordinates add
up to 5 (x + y = 5) such as (0, 5), (1, 4), (2, 3), (5, 0) so the
equation is x + y = 5.
There is one mark for each correct answer.

Question 8

(a) 1 4 Some formulae for the area of 2-D shapes that you need
to know will be given at the front of the test papers. Others
you need to learn. The formula for the area of a
parallelogram is A = bh.
If A = 20 and h = 5, then 20 = b 5 and so b = 4.
(b) 1 4 The formula for the area of a triangle is:
bh
A =
2
10 h
If A = 20 and b = 10, then 20 = and so h = 4.

(c) 1 h = 10 The formula for the area of a trapezium is:

(a + b)h
A =
2
If A = 20, then (a + b) h = 40. You need to find a number
which when multiplied by 4 gives 40, so h = 10.
1 a+b=8 If A = 20, then (a + b) h = 40. So (a + b) 5 = 40,
so a + b = 8.
(d) 2 x=3 Find x first by noticing that the two expressions for the
Length = 10 cm length of the rectangle must be equal. This gives the
Width = 2 cm equation:
Perimeter = 24 cm 3x + 1 = 5x 5 (Take 3x from both sides)
1 = 2x 5 (Add 5 to both sides)
6 = 2x (Divide both sides by 2)
x=3
The length of the rectangle is 3x + 1 = 10 or 5x 5 = 10.
The formula for the area of a rectangle is A = lw. If A = 20
and l = 10, then 20 = 10w. This gives w = 2.
You would gain 1 mark if you showed that x = 3 or that
l = 10.
So the perimeter is 10 + 2 + 10 + 2 = 24 cm.
Total 6
Question 9

(a) 2 5 10 25 From the three patterns given, notice that the number of
black squares is always 2 times the pattern number,
12 24 144 and the number of white squares is always the pattern
number squared.
You would gain 1 mark if you gave two or three correct
values or if you got the colours the wrong way round.
(b) 2
n 2n n2 The question asks for expressions for the number of
black and white squares, so you must use n in your
answers, as shown in the table. Do not use equations such
as n = n 2, as you would lose marks. You could write
number of black squares = 2n, but try to avoid using
equations when questions ask you to write expressions.
For 2n you could also write 2 n or n + n, and for n2 you
could also write n n.
(c) 1 2n + n2 The total number of squares in pattern number n is 2n
for the black squares + n2 for the white squares which
is written 2n + n2.
(d) 2 3n +n2 The number of black squares in the pattern follows the
sequence 3, 6, 9 increasing by 3 each time.
The total number of squares in pattern number n is 3n
for the black squares + n2 for the white squares which
is written 3n + n2.
Total 7

Question 10

(a) 1 300 If 2.5 30 = 75, then 0.25 300 = 75. Notice that to find
two multiplications that have the same answer, you can
divide one of the numbers by an amount (10 here), and
multiply the other number by the same amount.
You can, of course, do a division sum without a
calculator:
75 750 7500
= = = 300
0.25 2.5 25
1 0.1 or 1
10
If 75 1 = 75, then 7.5 0.1 = 75. Notice that to find
divisions that have the same answer, you can divide one of
the numbers by an amount (10 here), and divide the other
number by the same amount.
(b) 1 a = 18 4a + 3 = 75 (Subtract 3 from both sides)
4a = 72 (Divide both sides by 4)
a = 18
1 b = 50 2b 25 = 75 (Add 25 to both sides)
2b = 100 (Divide both sides by 2)
b = 50
1 c = 9 or c2 62 = 75 (Add 6 to both sides)
c = 9, or both c = 81 (Take the square root of both sides)
c=9

Since 81 is also 9, this answer would be accepted.

Question 11

bed on the sides.
The line at the corners is a quarter-circle, radius 2 cm,
centred at the corner, drawn using compasses.
Some allowance is made for diagrams that are slightly
inaccurate, but try to avoid drawing lines freehand. You are
expected to show that you can use a ruler and a pair of
compasses in the tests.
You would gain 1 mark for an otherwise correct diagram
with the circle arcs wrongly drawn or omitted.

100 5
Probability is written as a fraction or a decimal. Always
cancel fractions if it is possible, although you would not lose
marks if you did not. You would get no marks, though, for
writing 20 out of 100 or 20 in 100.
(b) 1 42 21

There were 40 passengers waiting from 5 to 10 minutes,
100 50 so approximately 20 passengers were waiting between 5

waiting 7.5 minutes or less is approximately 22 + 20 = 42.
So P (passenger waits for 7.5 minutes or less) =

(a) 3 9a2 4a2 = 5a2 This is an example of an unstructured question. This
means that you have to do more than one step to get the
answer. It usually involves showing a fair amount of
working. The formula for the area of a circle is A = r 2.
Now use this formula to calculate the area of each separate
circle.
For the large circle, r = 3a.
So, A = r 2 = (3a)2 = 3a 3a = 9a2
For the small circle r = 2a.
So A = r 2 = (2a)2 = 2a 2a = 4a2
The shaded area is given by 9a2 4a2 = 5a2
Remember to take away the area of the small circle.

CHAPTER
16 GCSE Preparation
Solving quadratic equations.
16.1

Ask students to mentally solve x 1 = 0. They should find that x = 1 quickly
(answers can be written on mini white boards).
Repeat with x + 4 = 0 (4), x 3 = 0 (3), x + 3 = 0 (3).
Now ask students to give two values for a and b that solve a b = 0. Ask
students to write their answers down on mini white boards as a = ? and b = ?.
Check answers. Some could be written on the board. Discuss the common
characteristics, which should be that either a or b should be zero in each case.
Now ask students to write down a value for x that will make (x 2)(x + 4) = 0.
Once again check answers. Hopefully they will be either x = 2 or x = 4.

This is a lesson on solving quadratics that factorise.
x2 + 6x 7 = 0.
They may spot the answer x = 1, but are unlikely to spot the answer of x = 7.
Outline the method. First, factorise and then solve each bracket equal to zero.
i.e. x2 + 6x 7 = 0 (x 1)(x + 7) = 0.
So, either x 1 = 0 x = 1, or x + 7 = 0 x = 7.
Repeat with other examples such as:
x2 x 6 = 0 (x = 3 or 2), x2 + 4x + 3 = 0 (x = 1 or 3),
x2 8x + 15 = 0 (x = 3 or 5).
The class can now do Exercise 16A from Pupil Book 3 or Exercise 10K

Ask the students to find a combination of products using one pair of factors from
each side that give a total of 28. This first exemplar may need to be
demonstrated i.e.
2 3 2 5 + 6 3 = 28.

This is a lesson on factorising quadratics with a non-unit coefficient for x2.
Students have met the idea in previous plenaries, but a method for solution has
not been outlined.
Ask the students to factorise 2x2 + 9x + 4.
They may have an intuitive idea of the answer but they also need to have a
method outlined.
There are several methods, two of which are outlined in the Pupil Book.
Example: Find factors of the x2 coefficient and of the constant term.
For 2x2 + 9x + 4, the factors of 2 are 1 2 and the factors of 4 are 1 4.
Now find a combination that gives the coefficient of x, e.g.
1 1 11+24=9
2 4
The brackets are then the opposite to the pairs i.e. (x + 4)(2x + 1).
Example: Factorise 6x2 17x + 12.
The brackets must start (3x )(2x ) or (6x )(x ) and the constant term has
factors 3 4, 2 6, 1 12.
By trial and improvement we can find that the combination (3x 4)(2x 3) works.

This is a lesson on solving quadratic equations with non-unitary coefficients.
2x2 x 1 = 0.
They may spot the answer x = 1, but are unlikely to spot the answer of 12 .
Outline the method. First factorise and then solve each bracket equal to zero.
i.e. 2x2 x 1 = 0 (2x + 1)(x 1) = 0, so either x 1 = 0 x = 1 or
2x + 1 = 0 x = 12 .
Repeat with other examples such as 3x2 + 2x 1 = 0 (x = 13 or 1),
12x2 + 5x 2 = 0 ( x = 23 or 14 ), 8x2 14x 15 = 0 (x = 34 or 212 ).
Ask students to solve the quadratic equation x2 + x = 12.
This is not in the correct form to factorise and solve. Encourage students to
always rearrange quadratic equations into the form ax2 + bx + c = 0.

solved to give x =3 or 4.
Repeat with 2x(x 7) = 6 3x. This must be expanded and then collected into

and explain that a, b and c are the coefficients of x2, x and the constant term in
the general quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0.
Work through some examples but encourage students to follow some basic
principles:
Substitute values in brackets before attempting to work anything out.
Take particular care with: The change of sign of b.
Squaring b inside the root, particularly if it is negative
Working out 4 a c correctly particularly if c is negative.
Dividing the whole top line by 2a, not just the square root.
Example: Solve 2x2 + 3x 4 = 0.
First, identify a, b and c (a = 2, b = 3, c = 4.

This is a lesson on completing the square.
Ask students to expand (x a)2 and (x + a)2.
Hopefully they will get the answer x2 2ax + a2 and x2 + 2ax + a2.
Now ask if they can fill in the missing numbers in x2 + 4x 3 = (x + )2 .
Eventually they will probably come up with the answer (x + 2)2 7.
Discuss how this relates to the identities established at the start of the lesson.
Work through the following examples on completing the square.
Example: Write x2 + 6x in the form (x + a)2 b.
The value, a, inside the bracket is half the coefficient of x. The value b is the
square of this, So, x2 + 6x = (x + 3)2 9.
Repeat with x2 + 12x ((x + 6)2 36), x2 4x ((x 2)2 4) and
x2 + 30x ((x + 15)2 225).
Example: Write x2 + 6x 7 in the form (x + a)2 b.
The value of a is half the coefficient of x. The value b is the sum of the existing
constant term and the square as before.
So, x2 + 6x 7 = (x + 3)2 9 7 = (x + 3)2 16.
Repeat with x2 + 12x + 15 ((x + 6)2 21), x2 4x 3 ((x 2)2 7) and
x2 + 30x + 100 ((x + 15)2 125).
Demonstrate how to solve equations using completing the square.
Example: Solve x2 + 6x 4 = 0.

x2 + 6x 4 = 0 (x + 3)2 13 = 0 (x + 3)2 = 13 x + 3 = 13

x = 3 13.

Now ask for the square root of 4x2. Some will give the answer 4x. Make sure
that they understand the answer is 2x.
Repeat with the square roots of 9y2, 16z2, 25x2, 81x2, 100y2 etc.

This is a lesson on factorising the quadratic the difference of two squares.
Start by asking students to expand expressions of the type (x + 2)(x 2) = (x2 4)
e.g. (x 4)(x + 4) = (x2 16), (2x 1)(2x + 1) = (4x2 1), (3x 6)(3x + 6) = (9x2 36) etc.
Eventually ask for the expansion of (a b)(a + b).
Discuss with students the similarities between the results.
Establish the result (a b)(a + b) = a2 b2.
Explain that this is known as the difference of two squares.
Now ask if students can reverse the result. i.e. can they factorise x2 36?
Explain that this can be written down as x2 62 = (x 6)(x + 6).
Emphasise that it is important to identify both squares since failure to do this can
lead to errors such as (x 36)(x + 36).

An investigation into y = ax2 + bx + c.
16.7
There is no starter as the investigation will need to be introduced via a class discussion.

The investigation in the Pupil Book is reproduced here. Students will need access to graphical calculators or
computers with a graph-drawing application package. The investigation will take more than one lesson.
The graph of a quadratic equation has a characteristic

shape called a parabola. y
Investigate the relationship between the values a, b and

c in the graph y = ax2 + bx + c and the points P, Q
(where the graph crosses the x-axis), the point R (where
the graph crosses the y-axis) and the point S (the vertex
or turning point of the graph).
y = ax2 + bx + c
You should use a graph plotting program or a graphical
calculator to help you.
You will not gain any credit for spending a lot of time
drawing graphs accurately.
P Q x
You will gain credit for a systematic investigation into
the effect of a, b and c on the graph.
R
S
Introduce the investigation and ask the students to suggest ideas for getting started.
For example, they could start by looking at graphs of y = x2, y = 2x2, y = 3x2 etc.
Then look at graphs of y = x2 + 1, y = x2 2, y = x2 + 3 etc.
Then look at graphs of y = x2 + 2x, x2 3x, x2 + 5x etc.
Once they have an idea of the effect of a, b and c individually they could then look at more general equations.
Students should be encouraged to look at the roots from the quadratic formula or the completing the square
method. The vertex also could be investigated via the completing the square method.
